SunFire’s jet turbine

It's been quite a while since I naturally stopped dealing with Sun servers. Back in college I dealt with Sun SPARC servers, and in Fujitsu I used Fujitsu's SPARC compatible with Solaris. After that, after a few months of using Solaris x86, I had no more direct interaction with Sun servers/operating systems for years. Until recently when I actually saw the details of Sun x64 servers (i.e., IA servers) whose pricing are not as expensive as I tought. I just set up a SunFire X4200 M2 and the first impression is it looks much closer to an Xserve now, but much noisier. When main power is on, it sounds like a jet turbine. I thought Dell's rack mount server is the noisiest, but now I forgot the existence of Xserve and Dell servers when this X4200 M2 is on.
Nevertheless, current Sun servers look cool and powerful. I couldn't wait to actually try the power of dual-core AMD Opteron 2220 2.8GHz.
