Thanks. Are there any continuously running fans when it's not actively working ? Or something else that makes a noise ?

I got an HP IP KVM switch a while ago. When it's on, it makes as much noise as a bunch of servers or a blade center. Got some fans for retrofit...

Yes. I'd forgotten about that. There is a reasonably-above-ambient-noise fan that is running constantly. Another reason it was banished to the server-rack in the garage.

I got mine at Backupworks.com[1] - they seem to have a perpetual sale on for pricier items like this. They gave me a discount on a batch of tapes bought at the same time and threw in some barcodes and a cleaner tape as well.
