    EU WTB Quiet 2U/3U/4U with rails, hotswap caddies and powersupply(es)

    Hello everyone I'm looking to buy a rackable chassis to migrate my NAS. I don't have a strong preference on the size, but it should accomodate for a regular mATX motherboard and two low profiles cards (I'll install an X570D4U in it). The chassis is meant to be installed in its closed rack in...

    Cost effective chassis suggestions for dual EPYC build

    My thought has been that I would put an H11DSi in perhaps a CSE-826? Quiet operation is very desired so I would probably go with SQ PSUs, though price would beat out quiet in the end (i.e. I don't have $1000 to spend on the chassis). I see there are SAS1,2,3 backplanes along with some pass...

    CSE-847 Fan Noise Woes.

    Finished my upgrade to a CSE-847 thinking I could throw all my disks into one unit, use one MB, and max the ram and be in media storage heaven. Well, I didn't think things though, filled the unit up, turned it on and found the fans screaming their way into my ears. I've tried various...

    PLEASE IGNORE (WOULD DELETE THIS THREAD IF I KNEW HOW)

    I have several Supermicro SuperServer 5017C-TF that I would like to consider using to build a simple cluster of 3-4 nodes. It's a long story!! I'd like to try to get this mini-homelab style project working and assess the feasibility quickly, otherwise I'm going to add these servers to the...

    Do quiet high pressure fans for a home server exist?

    I've got a full-length 4U server case, so I've got plenty of room to macgyver it and get any size of fans to work somehow, but I need to both create decent suction to pull air over my hot-swap bays and cool what will probably be a big passive AMD EPYC cooler. I can't seem to find anything to...

    Replacing PWS-721-R1 Power Supply Fan with a Silent One?

    Hi, Don't know if anyone would know, but is it possible to replace the PWS-721-R1 PSU (in a supermicro case & mobo) with a quieter one? I've attempted shoring pin 17 and it does not seem to be working, so looking to get a quieter fan... but I am not sure if the power supply will allow that - or...

    iStarUSA D-400L-7 anyone? Or, yet another 4U chassis recommendation thread

    I've gone back and forth on home server cases more times than I care to admit. Every time I switch I promise myself, this time it's permanent. I haven't kept my promises. :) My current home server is housed in a Supermicro 825 (2U) series chassis. As much as I like SM stuff, there are two...

    EU [UK] FS: Supermicro SC836 SuperQuiet Server / X9SCL+-F / 32GB DDR3 ECC (SOLD)

    SOLD. ------------ This is pretty much a perfect FreeNAS file server and has been serving as such reliably in my homelab. Consists of a SC836 case from circa 2008 or so which had everything overhauled a few years back with 4 PIN PWM SuperQuiet fans (FAN-0104L4), a SuperQuiet 920W PSU and...

    New 1U pfSense build - Can't decide on hardware

    I'm working on a new pfSense build to replace a SuperMicro 1U D525 build (which of course, doesn't have AES-NI support and will therefore be incompatible with future pfSense releases). I've decided on the SuperMicro SC505-203B as the case because of the front facing I/O. Comes with a PSU...

    Quiet Rackmount Server

    I recently got a full 42U rack for my home server and networking and want to replace my existing tower server to a rackmount server. I was initially looking at Dell R7X0 and R5X0 series servers but I have heard some conflicting comments about noise and power consumption. I do not need it...

    WTB: 12U Soundproof Quiet Server Rack

    Looking to buy a 12U quiet server rack. I would really like a Ucoustic Active 12U rack, or something that offers similar noise reduction and thermal performance. I am downsizing from my 24U NetShelter CX quiet server rack. I would be willing to trade with someone also, if someone is looking to...
