Thanks for your suggestions. In the meantime I had found this case and PSU - what do folks think?
Antec Twelve Hundred Gaming Case - http://wiki.dandascalescu.com/reviews/gadgets/computers/cases#Antec_Twelve_Hundred_Gaming_Case_.E2.98.85 + 12 5.25" externally-accessible bays, in which you can elastic-mount the hard drives (http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8240) + under 28dBA SPL @ 1meter at 100% CPU fan PSU: Nexus RX-8500, http://www.silentpcreview.com/article970-page7.html It has a relatively constant noise profile 28 dBA at 300W, 33 dBA @ 700W Not sure what wattage the system will use most of the time though? If it's under 400W, then the Antec CP-850 doesn't exceed 14 dBA - almost silent. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
