Here's my beautiful unemployed-for-too-long-have-no-money-dont-care-about-looks lab :)

Hey it's more than good enough to run all this ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I got this because it’s almost fully enclosed. Most of the noise comes from an open rear door which this doesn’t have, and an open front door which this sort of has. It’s not very loud when the hvac is set to a reasonable level, even though it’s pulling air through 4 fans on the top.

I have additional sound deadening material if I need to apply it but I’m not there yet.

I’m eyeing 3-5 more 1U servers though so maybe I’ll need to do it.

    That's probably a pretty good idea in terms of cost. I checked earlier when I made the comment to see what the price difference these days was, and IIRC a non-isolated 18U is ~$800 and an isolated 18U is ~$1800. They aren't putting anything like $1k of sound-absorbing material into the rack.
