Out of curiosity, what has been your experience on noise and power consumption with your r220 and r240 servers?
Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up?

They’re pretty decent. Really depends on the temperature.
If the room is cool you hear the hard drives over the chassis fans.

Funny you should say that! If I was still over in that part of the country I’d absolutely take you up. There is a local used IT shop near me and I was really excited to purchase some of those for a good deal. Then found out that they only update their online inventory when you click add to cart. Long story short, the prices were too good to be true and they didn’t have any left in stock.
