More Information

I just added a Dell Precision 450 Dual XEON workstation to my lab today and dang is that thing noisey :>

I tried blowing the dust out of the archaic monster and it may have helped some.
Primarily, I'm trying to find some fan controls for this system, but I can't seem to find any on Dell's site.
Not sure if there are 3rd party ones that may work.

If I don't find anything, I'm gonna have to ship it off to a spare bedroom and leave it connected via Wireless.
Not my 1st, 2nd, or 3rd choice but I definitely won't be able to take this racket for long.

And, I'm not looking to putting any $$$ into make this system quieter or building another despite it's age.
This system was shipped to me by my employer, so I can't really do anything but software changes.
