I swapped out the screamer fans for Noctuas on a 1U server and it's significantly better. Needed a custom mini PCB and a bios setting to ignore fan speed feedback but it's extremely quiet and runs cool.
I don't think it uses much power when idle either. I think that rack servers being expensive is a myth.
