Could you clarify this? http://www.andovercg.com/datasheets/sun-fire-v210-server.pdf Suggests that we're talking 320 watts, and 7.3 db acoustic noise. http://www.gcaudio.com/resources/howtos/loudness.html suggests that whispers are about 30 db. And, 320 watts is not too far from what you would expect from a 3 bulb light fixture. Gamer rig PCs can run hotter than that. So perhaps I'm looking at the wrong information? Thanks, -- Raul
