I bought a Cisco enterprise router and switch (2nd hand) - the level of available configuration is great but the noise of the fans started to do my head in. I need to figure out how to get them wired up somewhere I can't hear them all the time.

There is more than 1 way to get that level on config without having a loud energy hungry rack mounted hw... Pfsense or openwrt are just 2 of them. Drop them on a good arm device or power efficient x86 minipc and u get the best of both worlds. You lose on the seamless updates, but unless you are some high profile or paranoic person, no APT will target that 0 day in your network....

When I bought my house a couple of years ago I decided early on that I want a rack tucked away somewhere. Noise was part of the reason.
