If you're lucky enough to have a basement, that's a great place for 
machines.  They're colder than the rest of the house, have plenty of 
power, and a concrete floor where you could bolt a rack.  Who cares 
about quiet fans?  You could have one that sounds like a leaf blower or 
a chain saw and not hear it.

Of course, you'll never hear your drive start to fail, either.
