I do not understand this concern with the box and its noise. Why does the computer have to be in the rack? Unless one is lazy or inept with tools there is no logic in putting the case in the same room as the rest of the system.
I use a remote blaster good from anywhere in the house as a control.
The case is in a closet in an adjoining room. The closet is cooled with an extension of the hvac system. The cables go through the closet floor into the wall behind the home theater. The cd/dvd and sat box feed through the same wall which has hole the same size as an electrical outlet so when I wish to change things I simply put in a fake electrical outlet. Unless you are in the spare bedroom and put your ear to the closet door you can not hear anything from the case.
Why the h**l do people think the computer case has to be in the entertainment room? It can be in the basement, adjoining room, attic etc. Just make sure it has adequate cooling.
I have 2 15" Tempest subwoofers built into what appears to be a table. Just can not put things on the table or they might migrate about when the cannons go off.
Happy Trails
