Stuck in Noisy Computer Hell

Joe · 08-29-2002, 06:11 PM

I am locked away in a data center right now rebuilding a SQL server, what fun!

and its gotta be 70 dB in here.. driving me nutz!

Brians256 · 08-29-2002, 07:21 PM

How can you hear the computers when your music is playing at 110dB?

Fight for your right to paaaaarty (in the data center)!

Joe · 08-29-2002, 07:48 PM

Actually, I got a set of Sennheiser headphones on cranked playing Adema and Deadpool right now so I am not hearing anything

water cool EVERYTHING!

thebigNil · 08-30-2002, 12:51 AM

Yeah no need for those fancy hoses and waterblocks. Flood the room and when someone ask what your doing tell them *slipn' slide*

Just a thought, is embrionic fluid conductive?

If that's just a thought, what the heck are you thinking???:shrug:

My bet is yes, since it's mostly water and salt.

Fill the whole room. However I was thinking more along the lines of the liquid oxegen that deepsea divers use.

Joe · 08-30-2002, 11:44 AM

Ahhh hyper oxygenated fluid.

Not a bad idea, except that I think it would probably corrode stuff mighty fast

gogo · 08-30-2002, 11:53 AM

Parts would be obsolete and upgraded before that anyhow.

seal the parts with schelack.

and definately no smoking on the job.

I hadn't thought of the oxidation part. I was thinking it would smell better than oil. and you could breath it.

Bah! I WORK in the data center of one of the two biggest hospitals here. 62-65 deg F and nice & noisy.

Tons of PCs and Servers AND the two huge air conditioners

Joe · 09-01-2002, 11:25 PM

I work in the central data center for the entire state. ( 3 floors at 10k Sq ft per floor.)

I dig servers, I dig network gear, but I also dig a nice quiet office

I get to have fun in the state data center 2

10 floors - all under ground about another 10floors-- connections to OC-48 backbones up the wazzu- only go in like 1 a month

- just to check on the floor of server i built- havent had a problem yet!

Can O' Beans · 09-02-2002, 02:56 AM

I'm in this noise 8 hrs a night, 5 days a week.

Add the big IBM high speed printer to that as well.

Although it's 1" foam sound insulation on it's outter panels sure makes a difference when you close the door...

I still don't know why they put that big printer INSIDE the main computer room when it kicks out a lot of paper dust. And since they do no preventative maintenance, whenever something fails, it's usually due to a big buildup of dust.. Hmm... I wonder why...
