Dell r640 - eviltoast

Hi guys. I’m just starting to build my homelab server for pentesting lab.

Server will be running a pfsense box and other 3 to 6 vm (1-2 gb ram each)

I’d like to know how noisy it is but no videos on yt about it. If anyone has a r640, can you place a video of the server running, so I can decide between place in my room or in the room next to it. I’d really appreciate if you could or any reference is very helpful.

    It’s not the same, but we have a bunch of r650s as work and they are loud as hell. I don’t know if they’re all like that or if it’s just their specific configuration, but the fans are pretty damn loud. We also still have an r620 in the Room. That one isn’t ass bad, but still annoying.

    We have a bunch of r730s and r740s, those are pretty chill.

      What are the specs of those r640? I’m wondering if esxi 6.7 will stress it
