Sounds like a good idea. Our server room sounds like a train going past
continually. If I'm in the room next to it I can't talk on a phone due to
all the fan noise. I'd suggest looking at some of the low noise fans that
are available from different sources, round cables and maybe even heat pipes
on the processor.
Good luck.
