I purchased an XServe 2months ago with a XtremeMac 12 URack. The rack has still not arrived from America and the server is sitting on my desk unused. The problem is I need an acoustically sealed rack as the XServe is not in a comms room and it sounds like a helicopter. Can anyone tell me the name of the cabinet that apple are using on the XServe product page, or any suggestions on other makes of rack? I need this fast.



All your help is greatly appreciated

    APC Netshelter racks are pretty damn nice. I've only seen them in big server rooms, which are noisy anyway

    Get some foam weather stripping and unscrew the fans an drives. punch the screws through a small pieve of the foam and screw back in.

    Hey, do they make a product like that for regular desktops/towers? That would be nice (or if that damn 7200 rpm drive would just die and quit with high pitch whine).
