I am looking for a nice quiet server for the home. It will be in the utility room, so it doesn't have to be silent, but it is next to the theater room. Rackspace is not an issue. I am looking for something reasonably powerful (thinking 32 GB of RAM, etc.), to run a few miscellaneous VMs. As always, nothing that will break the bank.
Any good used solutions (Dell, HP, etc.) that can be picked up on eBay? I know there are plenty of good options out there, but most are loud.
Or, am I best off building my own? Perhaps grabbing a 4U case, a quiet PSU and a quiet CPU cooler?
Thoughts?
