I got a strange query today... a guy from Medicine wanted to come "listen" to a floorstand and a rackmount SGI. I was rather... taken aback.. by this. Turns out he wants to put it in an operating room (during an operation) and therefore has a legitimate concern about this. Since our SGIs are all in machine rooms where you can hardly hear yourself think, listening to an SGI around here is likely to be a frustrating experience. Does anyone have dB numbers for the SGI packages (in particular, a 310 and its rackmount equivalent is what he is interested in)? Whimsically, rayan
