A nice pair of noise cancelling headphones would be a wise company investment, I think Bose makes some inexpensive ones ;-)

If you are forced to remain in the server room, it gets noiser as equipment is added and YOUR hearing suffers - don't do it! At the very least, build a wall of boxes (toner cartridges, undeployed VoIP phones, spare laptops, etc.) between you and the servers to preserve your hearing (which cannot be replaced). Out-of-sight, out-of-mind is great until you are deaf! Full rack enclosure solution for which vendors - there are a lot of options depending on servers, UPS, etc. Can you give more detail as to your equipment mix?

This was to be the Server room only, but now my work area also. ☹ NOISE! Side effect, I have no one watching over my shoulder. ☺ Now that I have cleaned out the previous occupants, got a 1950's modular desk in place and got the Servers in a place I can actually manage them, I though a Server room redesign was in order. I am looking for recommendations on full rack enclosures.
