Pardon? ;-)

6 of them are in a 19" rack unit in my office, the noisiest thing in
there is an old Dell Powervault 1U DAT drive enclosure, it makes the
most noise by far. I forgot one machine (so that's 13), an old arcade
cabinet with a P3 800 in it with MAME on it, that's downstairs with
the machine I use for a TV connected to a 37" monitor that I got for
£50.

5 of them are laptops, so they're quite quiet, all in the office, so
really any noise issues are in the office. I'm used to standing in
machine rooms on customer sites with row after row of 19" racks so I'm
used to that, can't hear it through the rest of the house.

I intend to replace as many of them as possible with 1U enclosures
with dual mini-itx boards in them, that'll cut down the noise but it's
not a problem. Over half of the racket is from the Dell Powervault,
mostly from the over-enthusiastic PSU fan, which I'll replace sometime.

Besides I can't hear anything over the wind noise from outside!

Yes, I sort of got the impression that there were better alternatives
to Coda available now, but haven't gotten around to looking into them
yet.
