The CS24-CS isn't so bad.

Sounds like a hair drier on low, as others have reported.

It's only super loud if you load it (I calculated Pi to 5 billion digits). It would spin up fans, be loud for 30 seconds, and spin down for a few minutes and repeat as it computed.

Don't let the sound bother you. Put it down in the basement or somewhere where you can't hear it and use the DRAC to power it on and off.

Precisely. We leave it in a more unused space, and the BMC is useful in remotely powering up and checking on it :-)
