northernlightsAlright let's see pictures of your super nice rack-mounted, professionally installed labs. I'll start š
BrkdncrSo clean, Iām jealous
talI remember looking at Sysracks racks a while back when I was trying to find sound-absorbent enclosed racks (which they do make, though I didnāt get one; wasnāt willing to pay for it, as they come at a very large premium). They were one of the very few companies making them. I donāt think that those particular ones are the sound-absorbent models, but their name stuck in my head.
I got this because itās almost fully enclosed. Most of the noise comes from an open rear door which this doesnāt have, and an open front door which this sort of has. Itās not very loud when the hvac is set to a reasonable level, even though itās pulling air through 4 fans on the top.
I have additional sound deadening material if I need to apply it but Iām not there yet.
Iām eyeing 3-5 more 1U servers though so maybe Iāll need to do it.

Thatās probably a pretty good idea in terms of cost. I checked earlier when I made the comment to see what the price difference these days was, and IIRC a non-isolated 18U is ~$800 and an isolated 18U is ~$1800. They arenāt putting anything like $1k of sound-absorbing material into the rack.
mesaIs this the ābeforeā shot? Thereās 190 spare ports. Iām all for leaving room to expand, but thatās a lot
Canāt argue with that!
a1studmuffinHow can you hear the DJ tunes over the server fans?
