    Those are Noctua fans so a decent percentage of the price tag too lol. I count 22 that’s like $600+ in just fans.

      Mine are all server grade, Sanyo, Fujikura, Nidec… fairly loud, but will last forever.

        I’m very sensitive to white noise so I’d rather have a 5 to 10 year service quiet fan. But I see the appeal. Perhaps setting the machine in a cabinet somewhere and use a fanless thin client at the desk. But that’s $$$$.

          Yeah, it’s not for everyone, I know. But it doesn’t bother me and I can rest assured that all fans are working all the time, so it’s a good deal for me.
