3pin to 4pin fan adapter

Do you have that thing in your room or something? A server should be in a "server room" where they are nice and airconditioned and sound doesn't matter  
Servers need those powerful fans to stay cool and I really wouldn't mess with them. Those proliant servers are so stingy with the hardware that goes in them I'm sure a different fan wouldn't work in it anyway.

We are in a small office with no server room atm and its cutting down on my productivity =( I found 3 pin fans to cool it at 21dB and I can ghetto rig another fan in there to help but I cant take a two hairdryers laying next to me lol.

Most small offices I've done consulting for have at least stuffed their servers in a closet or something, lol. Stowing them in someones office is stupid.

I really really wouldn't mess with it though. Proliants are very sensitive about hardware. Of course you wouldnt have to worry to much about noise if the 3pin fans didn't work, you would probably be at a diff job after the server breaks  

Just pile up some crap between it and you, that usually cuts down on noise a bit.
