Like Tom's Hardware but more focusd on how to do it quietly. Great
reviews about fans and water-cooling, discussions about air-flow in
cases etc. etc. Even building your own wooden case to
dampen/channel/restrict sound...
If your wife doesn't want a tower server case in the TV room, how about
an TV stand which happens to contain a server??? Will that be in oak or
mahogany?
I'll see your $.02 and raise you $.02.....
