Indeed, it amplifies the noise of the fans/air rumbling something silly.
The plan was to have good airflow around the parts so everything stays cool, which I think it does well as the CPU has no fan and underclocked bit it stays at 50C. I wonder how much heat is being transmitted through the chipboard.

Haha, 20 HDDs to backup stuff! That must have been a pain. You have too much stuff, as Xen would say
:)
Egg trays/foam pyramids like they use in those crazy looking anti echo chambers?

Yeah, that's the stuff I was thinking about, or maybe some of the Styrofoam stuff from a cooler and wrap it on the outside?

Could try something on the outside, not sure how much of the noise is coming from the fan holes. I did just think about a double skinned case with a vacuum between to deaden thenoise but not sure how easy that would be to achieve.

I used to have a server in the bottom drawer of my desk.
My current main HTPC is a HP Elite 8200 SFF. Looks quite nice on my TV stand. It's smaller than my amp so it doesn't stand out.

I think re-purposing an old DVD player or something would be pretty easy to do and that would blend in nice. I don't mind what I have though. The server is in the bedroom and it streams to Apple TV's and Pi's. The Pi has a Lego case for now, but I did order a nice one from Amazon the other day.

I assume that is water cooled with the radiator and pipes running into it.

I have a lovely big space behind the TV, a recess the other side of the chimney breast, so have plenty of room to hide stuff behind there. I have cables hanging down from the ceiling (ethernet and speaker) that aren't even clipped to the wall that don't get noticed. That big case that would look stupid anywhere else almost disappears behind there and is a convenient space to rest the router and door bell.
