I think I can replace the fans or just play with the BIOS settings to lower the noise. Unfortunately, Supermicro is know for very loud fans, and most of the noise comes from the power supplies… so not much we can about it.
I have a slight advantage that my closet is right next the HT Room, so noise shouldn't be an issue unless those power supplies are really annoying. The Dell server is pretty quiet though.
I will get two of those APC fan trays… and I also need a new/larger UPS.
