I have FreeNAS installed in a Supermicro 826TQ chassis. I've had it this way for about a year. My apartment is relatively small and the noise is starting to get to me.
I want to replace the fans and PSU to make it quieter. I've replaced fans on desktop PCs before, but I'm not sure if there's anything special I need to know on the server. Like I probably should use a better quality fan on this, right? I don't really know what to look for on the power supply.
Any recommendations? I only plan on having 11 hard drives in the machine and nothing too fancy in terms of CPU.
