E-250 noise

[José Luis Sánchez]

Hi,

First I say, the english isn't my mother language, and my grammar is
awful, I know. Excuse me, please.

I want to buy a second hand E-250 for my $HOME. The only one BIG
dude is how many noise produces this machine. The computer will be in my
work-room, running 24x7. It's a very noisy computer?. Will I be able to
sleep (in a different room of my $HOME, of course)?.

The E-250 has two 400 Mhz CPUs, two hard disks and redundant power.
The question has a subjective answer, I guess, but a subjective answer
is better than nothing.... :)

Thanks in advance.
José Luis

I think the noise level is fine for an office. It might get noisier on
hotter days because of variable speed fans if the temperatures get too
high in your room.

It's better than some people's I could mention.

It should be fine unless your work area gets very hot. It may
require some cooling. The gentle hum of a computer could help
you siesta but sleeping in another room shouldn't be a problem.
