the best solution is to get that stuff out of the "office" area, and into it's
own.  that's the best i could come up with.  i had a LOT of kit in one tiny
little room, and not only was the noise unbearable, the heat was crazy as
well.  when i moved, i made sure the computers got their own room.  the office
has exactly TWO computers in it, and no more.  my Octane, and a guest sparc20.

if this isn't an option for you, i don't know what to suggest short of a closed
cabinet, but even that isn't going to make enough of a difference in most
likelyhood.
