new dells

[Mike Davis]

Does anyone have any experience with the new Dell 2650 Xeons? I bought 5
of these for miscelaneous
(web, database, etc) use and it seems that each of them is louder than
the 64p Beowulf in the same room.
The fans on these things sound like an alarm. I thought that I might
have gotten bad bearings in the fan when
I booted the first one, but they are all VERY loud.

Mike
