From a form factor perspective yes, you can place it in more locations without taking up big amounts of floor space.Would like a HP ML350 be better for home use?
I've done some research and compared the fans in your machine with a server that I've got which is this Supermicro | Products | Chassis | 1U | SC813MTQ-350CB and the fan noise levels on the Supermicro system fan matrix Supermicro | Support | System Fan Matrix are within 3dB of each other. My machine quietens down after initial boot to a level where it's not audible from 12 feet away. Your PSUs are gold level as is mine so they will be quiet as well. I'd be inclined to buy it and see what it's like!Thanks for the info, I just hope this machine is quiet - i understand initial boot up is loud but hope it quiets down.
