[HECnet] So who's looking forward to all the cheap second-hand Itanium gear that will soon be flooding the market?

[Jason Stevens]

mine isn't....   But I did expect it to be, the HP server we have is without a doubt the loudest 1u thing I've ever heard.   It's louder than this 8u 8cpu PPro I used to have..   Even the HP 8x p4's ... it's just so damned LOUD.   

But my desktop is surprisingly quite.

Is your zx6000 crazy noisy as well? My rx2600 (RHESUS, btw, on HECnet) sounds like a freaking jet engine..
