I begged and pleaded with my boss for one and he finally gave in just so I would stop bugging him and it's finally here. But the thing was when I fired it up it gave such a noise and it never quit. It feels like I was at the airport boarding up on one of those prop planes. I opened it up and it has these huge suction fans that takes up most of the room. I can deal with some noise (I have at home 4 internal drives in a dual gig g4) but compared with the server it's whisper quiet. Do most servers have major noise? How does one adjust this to tone it down? Is it possible to have a major length usb, firwire, and video cable without loss to signal (so I can put this machine as far away from me as I can)? I'd like to know for this is a machine I have to use not just as a server but also as a main machine and I don't want to go deaf in the process.
