Thanks Neil, very helpful. I'll purchase one definitely - should make things easier. http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=62063 I've just seen this is discussed at spcr - which is where I went for decreasing noise in all my boxes, so I may get a little obsessive with reducing the fan noise from the box. Looks like it will work perfectly I'll post a build thread sometime next week.

Yes, I'm in the UK - i've seen the rebate deals and will buy a N40L probably next week after I get back from Nice. Thing is all my systems are basically inaudible, including my office machine. All have big CPU heatsinks (Scythe Ninja's etc) and fanless psus. I really really hate the hum of computers. However, with IPMI and the small form factor, I'm not sure I can resist. My UnRaid machine sits behind my TV atm and my sofas are around 8ft from the TV so I expect the sound would not be an issue. The only thing now is that my setup is 5 x 2TB + 1 x 3.5" cache drive. I think i'd have to replace the cache drive with a 2.5" drive. Also, I'm not sure how easy it will be to transplant my unraid from 1 machine to another. I have no idea if it's all just plug and play these days! Or will I have to fiddle with the unraid disk stuff..

Hi guys. I'm thinking about moving my unraid build to an N36L, think someone could answer a quick question for me? Current build: 6 x 2TB SATA 5400RPM Samsung greens. In a Antec Mini P180 case. PSU: Seasonic 400 Fanless Fans: 2 * 120mm extremely slow fans (lowest voltage on molex, pin mod) Practically inaudible, except at about 15cm away. How loud would this case be in comparison? Cheers.
