And just not louder, the 1U fans are much more of a whine than the
bigger 2U fans. I had an SGI Origin 200 (big 4U rackmount) and an SGI
1100 (1U) in my home office and it was the 1100 that drove me nuts. But
it was a "type 1" problem, meaning that I would just turn up the stereo
sufficiently and the problem went away. ;-)
