I have yet to hear a 1u server rack being even remotely near quiet, let alone silent. The ones i have make the noise of a hurricane. Sure i could silence them a bit, but getting them really silent? don't think it can be done without them seriously overheating.

A 2u / 3u server on the other hand should be well doable.
