I guess I’ll be able to push out more life from my aging 3DBOXX workstation I bought for $$$$. It’s still a strong system the fact that it has lasted this long and has been better performing on most applications than some other single cpu PCs in the house. But it’s a windtunnel when I turn it on and I want to dampen the noise down to match noise level of other PCs in the house which are virtually near silent.

Just out of curiosity, what is your web server housed in? I’m trying to isolate where most of the loud noise is coming from and it sounds like the special NMB 460W power supply. The case fans make a slight hum, I’ll probably also replace those with something more quiet as well. I’ve already taken care of the CPU coolers which I replaced with Thermaltake copper heatsink fans branded to be more quiet. It’s helped a little bit.

It worked flawlessly. No problems at all. Indeed, the Seasonic is dead quiet.

I’m not sure if I realized any reduction in power consumption, because there’s a lot of “noise” in my power bill. I guess I should have purchased a Kill A Watt first :)
