VERY. There is no ramp down on the speed of the fans on an Xserve.

Servers are loud. If you trun the fans on your MP to full they would be lower than a server.

These have tiny fans due to the short height (I think 25mm). Therefore the fans have to spin much faster to move as much air as a 80mm fan.

I have a local buyer interested. I'll update the add as soon as I can.

That's too bad. I guess it was wishful thinking that a server could be reasonably quiet.
The price was right, though.
