Although I have been lurking around a lot on this forum, I was never an active member. As a welcome post I would like to show you the case mod I just completed.
The Xserve 1,1 I bought off the local Craigslist was not exactly what I had hoped for. Unbearable noise and extremely difficult to update it to at least something like El Capitan. Lion, the last officially available update was unbearable to someone who is already on High Sierra.
Click here for the original Xserve Noise levels. Spoiler. 52-53dB at idle, 70-71dB at full blast.
Instead of filling up the forum's space with pictures, I ll post the imgur post I made here
The post mod video can be found here
I m glad to answer any questions regarding the project. Hope this gives everyone some food for thought.
