I'm planning a 40gbe (maybe infiniband) network for my homelab. I don't have a dedicated server room and from what I read the 40gbe switches are very loud (Mellanox list some of it's ethernet switches with 70dba).
In different threads on sth people posted about soundproofed enclosures like the netshelter cx mini for servers, but not about about switches.
I'm interested if somebody here has experience with soundproofed enclosures and how effective they are when it comes to making networking gear (or 1u servers) quiet & if there are problems with cooling, cabling or other gotchas.
