Oh I did not know rack mounted machines could be so noise. I been toying with the idea of getting some old second hand units to play with to go with my 24 port 1U 10/100 hub I recently picked up at a local computer fair. Would it cause any problems stacking them on top of each other or would they have a tendency to over heat with out the racking? The room I would be running them in is a small bed room, large enough for a single bed and bed side table and I plan to install my own home made air conditioning! > > Also the issue in that case will be the 448kbps uplink..
