Zonbu Desktop Systems:  eRacks/SILENCE.zonbu

This high-performance brushed-aluminum system is designed to minimize machine noise. The door has a rubber gasket around it and there is sound-deadening foam in the inside of the top and side. Our sound measurements of a running system were 31.5 - 32.5 dB at a baseline of 28 - 30 dB. During hard drive access, the sound level rose to 34 dB.

Note: Video and audio are onboard the default motherboard. Upgraded options for both are available. Please note that video is not onboard the upgraded motherboard choice. If upgrading the motherboard, you will need to choose a video card as well, from the PCI-e option list.

Modifications:
Some systems may be quietized by a combination of chassis design, fan placement, special low-noise fans, cool CPUs, and low-noise hard drives. There exists a tradeoff between processor speed and quietness of the system. For an extremely quiet rackmount system, try the eRacks/QUIET system.

Operating System:
eRacks makes every effort to ensure that your configuration choices will be compatible with each other, and the vast majority of the combinations above, especially the most popular ones, will be supported. Due to the sheer number of combinations, we cannot test or guarantee that every possible combination of choices will function without some manual configuration. If your configuration, while in testing, is determined to require significant additional work to configure, or cannot be made to work with your other choices, we will contact you to notify you of the situation and allow you to (a) make another choice, (b) have us continue to work on configuring it on a consulting basis (we will estimate the time it will take), or (c) allow you to accept the system as-is and configure it yourself.
Note: 64-bit OS support is not as widespread or nearly as well-qualified and tested as 32-bit OSes, but we will certainly make our best efforts to install the 64bit OS of your choosing. We will certainly contact you with any issues or incompatibilities between your hardware and OS choices, and make our expert recommmendations on the best course of action.
For eRacks/WEB servers, eRacks recommends the FreeBSD operating system, since it has the best benchmarks. eRacks recommends the OpenBSD operating system for all firewall systems , because OpenBSD is fully audited for security and maintained from the ground up with security as the primary concern. Although Linux can be hardened by security experts, OpenBSD is our recommendation for firewalls, routers, DNS servers, and other servers exposed on the open internet. Note: eRacks does offer a hardened version of Linux, for those who require Linux. Email eRacks for details.
Note: eRacks will install, configure, and test your system with your choice of operating system. Any configuration issues, hardware incompatibilities, or other issues as the result of the customer's installation or re-installation of an operating system are not covered by the warranty. Machines ordered with no operating system specified will be tested with a generic Linux install and any issues arising as a result of the customer's operating system installation are the customer's responsibility.  Back to top
