And those fans are relatively cheap when bought directly from the SM store.I just did the upgrade to the 007L4 from the base fans and my god it makes all the world of difference, drops the hurricanes down by 2/3 and make it near unpossible to hear the server.
where are you located and what do you want for it.Anyone interested in a heavily modified 846 with a TQ backplane? If so, contact me. I consolidated my servers to some Dell R720's and as such have an 846 I gutted and put in a 120mm fan wall + modified for a standard PC power supply... Willing to let it go pretty cheap.
Did you use the green enclosures with the 007L4, or did you remove the fans and place them into 126L4 case?I just did the upgrade to the 007L4 from the base fans and my god it makes all the world of difference, drops the hurricanes down by 2/3 and make it near unpossible to hear the server.

In the 836 the back fans are slightly different -- I believe they are FAN-0125L4s. Does anyone know if they will work in these as well?Removed the green enclosure and put the fans in the existing enclosure. This was the only way the fans would work in the system.
What PSU's are you using in that server? I've been told that the 920-SQ is the sweet spot..?FWIW I use a SM 4U HSF in my workstation that is 1' or less away from me, they're silent at idle and even 50% CPU+ for 1hr+ I can't hear it. This is in a room that's 70-75*F too.
I was considering getting an SC216 to experiment with an all-SSD pool, but I suspect any silence of the SSD's would be blown away by the noise of the chassis itself. Would that assumption be correct?I don't think the 846 is that loud how it is with the 4U SM HSF myself. They are crazy quiet compared to the 216s
