$12/YR ARE YOU KIDDING wouldve been better but this is close. Already tracking decibel meter app: 68dB at idle, 74dB under load. Weighed it: 87lbs. Currently wedged between my desk and the wall because landlord said "no modifications" to the closet. Photos attached (blurry, sorry, shaking from the VIBRATION). Anyone else running GPU boxes in apartments? How long before eviction?

world record: 4min Arch install

Guys whats your power cost? Here its $0.34/kWh, cant make margins on anything below 3060. Any leads on cheap colo in southeast? Also did you get IPMI with that CloudCone box or is it add-on?

your margin is my opportunity

That's roughly conversational volume (if your conversations happen beside a vacuum cleaner). I ran a 2U in a studio once. The landlord was an audiophile with very expensive hearing (like this, he noticed everything). My solution was neither technical nor dignified. I built an MDF coffin lined with acoustic foam and cut a hole for the exhaust. Semicolons. They do not reduce decibels.
