9 I've got an e450 under my desk - keeps my feet nice and warm on cold
10 winter night shifts... I think it's probably louder than an e250 - I

12 install on it as well as Gentoo, and on the rare occasions when I boot
13 Solaris, the fans spin down until there's more noise from the disks than
14 from the fans...
