The worst part in the approach "make rackmount machines quieter" is: these
machines are designed with high density of power per physical space and
efficient cooling in mind (as computers do not produce mechanical work,
hence virtually all consumed power goes into heat). Noise level is never
considered as a goal. So, attempting to make rackmount machine quieter is
counter productive.
