HP's engineers apparently do not know how to do quiet. I've got a NetServer
E60 I use as a Linux server, and which supposedly was designed for an office
environment, but makes more noise than all my other machines combined
(HP3000 927, IBM AS400 270 and Micron mini-tower PC). Much more noise. The
fans are so loud I only turn it on when I need to work with the box. It was
a major disappointment.
