Yeah, I’m glad I don’t work with enterprise gear anymore, I swear I have permanent hearing damage from the server room…

My current setup is an old PC, a Raspberry Pi, and a Mikrotik router. Oh, and a VPS because CGNAT. Everything is quiet, and soon I’ll replace the old PC with something more power efficient.

  Honestly you might. I bring my earplugs any time I go into the server room. And a jacket, because it’s nipple-crinkling cold in there. Or I stand in the hot aisle next to the SANs while I’m waiting for something.

I had an used R710 I used for a good 8 years and just updated it last fall.

I calculated that the power savings alone would pay for my hardware in about a year. And I get much more power out of a modern system for about 1/3 the energy usage.
