New How's yer electricity bill?
That and I like to have a bit of quiet every once in a while.

We're not talking 24x7 servers here (at least I wasn't).

New Not a problem...
All of my machines as workstations have ACPI enabled. My one server has minimal impact.

My firewall has only one low-power drive to power besides a P166 and 64KB of memory and no Video card. (oh and 2 NICS) nofans in it... Power Supply is low-power-low-noise. The heat sinks are all big enough that they are touchable during operation.

No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp|source]

Note for the linguistically-impaired: That was a rhetorical question. (Second note, for the vocabulary-challenged: That means you're not supposed to answer it.)
