Hello,
I recently got the above server with a bunch of other components for free. I got the server to run windows server 2003 without any problems. It has one 2.83ghz Xeon quad core CPU, so it is by far the fastest computer I have in the house, and I'm hoping on keeping it as the build quality is nice. I want to try to somehow replace my P4 PC with it.
How can I quiet it down without spending a lot of money? The vast majority of the noise comes from the fans. All the fans pull out easily out of their special slots, what can I replace them with? I know that quiet desktop PC fans are cheap, will they work?
The server has 6 fans (excluding the psu fans), and they are all:
Nidec Beta V
TA225DC
Model B35441-94
12V DC 1.5A
60mm size
They have 4 wires but a 2x3 connector
I'm adding photos of the server to better the chance of getting some help with the fans.
