It's very quiet.  It makes much less noise than the wine fridge that is next 
to it.

It is replacing a PowerEdge T105 that's about 5 years old.  The T105 has a 
vibration problem that makes some metal parts in the case click and dust has 
reduced air-flow which causes some fan noise.  But it's still not particularly 
loud.

The Dell tower servers are all fairly quiet.

That would be the case if there was an option to run the software without 
paying for support.  But payment isn't optional.  Also there are significant 
differences in the support prices for the number of virtual machines.  Going 
from 1VM to 4VMs may give a slight support price increase, but going from 4 to 
more probably won't be noticable.
