Sound wise this is a huge improvement over the stock 80mm fans used in the default enclosure as these larger fans can spin much slower than stock and still keep the system cool. Running my boards in these towers allowed me to use large 120mm and 140mm fans for cooling. When I set out to build my lab I decided to transfer my Supermicro X8DTI boards out of their stock rack mount enclosures (like what you see above) and into Standard EATX Towers.

Likewise, the temperatures in my basement Homelab have been dipping below 66 degrees Fahrenheit, and apparently this makes my Supermicro Servers a bit unhappy.Ī bit of background. Its Winter here in the Atlanta area, and the temperatures have been dropping down close to freezing.
