I have a Supermicro "workstation", which is really a server branded as a workstation with two Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5335 Clovertown processors, 16 GB RAM, and a RAID 1 and RAID 5 array.
I use this to host websites at home, but the system is just too hot and loud to keep in my office any longer, so I am moving my websites to a dedicated host.
Is there any hope of using any of these parts to make a workstation that has a reasonable noise and heat level? Or do these Xeons just produce too much heat, so I need a lot of cooling (loud fans)? I am willing to buy another motherboard and a good "silent" case if that would help.
Edit:
- Here is the server
- Here is the proc x2 of these
- Here is the RAM x8 of these
- Here are the drives x6 of these
