Dell Poweredge 1750 tip
If you have a dell poweredge 1750, you may have noticed that the fans are extremely loud! Ours here at a clients site was driving some people crazy and the more we thought about it, the more we even started to wonder if something was wrong. A quick google search came to the rescue though: To quiet the fans down, use the extra power supply and plug in an extra power cord to the server. Give it a few seconds and you will actually be able to hear yourself think again! I just hope someone else out there googling at their wits end finds this and it helps them as well!

This actually is true for several models of Dell Poweredge servers. I know I have seen similar results on the 2650 and 2850 models.
