A version of Apple OS X might be interesting to run on one of the high end x86 boxes. I'm going to have to move most of the gear to the basement to deal with the heat load. It gets unbearable with all the boxes running.
LOL I know what you mean, noise is my main complaint, especially the dual processor IBM server I have running here at the house, that thing always sounds like it's ready to take off. I usually don't go in there too often unless I'm burning DVD's or printing off some things, and instead acess all the systems remotely over wireless, from my Pentium M laptop or my favorite little device, a 1-pound Windows CE Handheld PC (H/PC) by NEC that has instant on/off and can run a full terminal server client to remote control the Windows 2000 and XP systems. That's another reason I hope Apple will release OSX for generic Intel and be VMWARE compatible, so I could actually run it remotely like I can Solaris through the terminal server session on the H/PC without having to completely reboot it completely into the O/S. I obviously really love this stuff and can't seem to get away from it, even in the bathroom, ROFLMAO.
