I like white noise, but unfortunately not all computers emit such noise. my tivo is one, as is my laptop, I gotta turn on a powerful fan at night to drown out the tivo, which has 2 drives in it, at least one of them has gotten to the 'soft but piercing whine' point where I have trouble sleeping. Doesn't compare to my laptop, it's about 10x louder :( just gotta have enough fans to offset the whine. Used to have my redhat server in my bedroom, but it too was too loud with 5 x 10k RPM drives, the whine was loud despite 3x30CFM fans and my floor fan running. but in my living room I can barely hear the whine, since there are about 7 other computers running at any given time with lots more fans, my 48port switch's fans are really loud and do a good job at generating white noise, one time last year when a friend came in from outta town I actually slept next to my rack so he could have my bedroom for the night, wasn't too bad since there was so many fans(with all of em maybe 250CFM total) I ordered a new laptop HD which should get here tomorrow which should solve the laptop problem and triple my space at the same time :) nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
