I got an old IBM eServer xSeries 336 today. However that thing is annoyingly loud. You can hear it through the whole house, just because of the fans. So I'm wondering if anyone here has some experiences with silent server fans for 1U servers.
Currently there are 5 SanAce40 fans (28mm deep) and three weird 56mm deep ones I can't figure out by whom they were made. They're ball bearing fans (cheap and noisy).
You can find a lot for gaming PCs and multimedia stuff, but I can't find anything for servers. If anyone knows quiet 40mm fans, preferably with fluid dynamic bearing, I'd really appreciate it.
