QUIET Server for Small Office
I am trying to buy a server for a very small office. Problem is the fans on all the servers are very loud, They currently have a PowerEdge T310 and now that they need a new one they want one that isn't as noisy as that one. I have already tested a R330 and a T330 and both of those were louder than the one they have now. I communicated with Dell explained my issue and they recommended these -- I have had to return them and now don't know what to do next. I have just had major spine surgery so building one myself is out out of the question. Anyone have any suggestions for servers that are quiet, that can be placed close to office workers (just a few feet away), and which are also reasonably priced? Thank you.

How about getting a high end laptop to use as a server? They're generally much quieter than any desktop. Levono, Dell and HP sell laptops with support for 32 GB RAM and multiple disks.
Ditto the MicroServer if 16GB RAM is enough. Alternatively you can get an acoustic rack but that costs about 10 times as much.

None of the suggestions were a good solution but did let me know that I had to search for an alternative and that got me to a company that could help me with a custom server.
