I assume that like the compaq ml380 they use the delta 80cfm 5700rpm 80mm 
fans...

a regular 80mm fan is around 20-24cfm 1900rpm and draws .30 amps at 12v 
these things are more like 1.35 amps...

  In Dr. Johnson's famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last
  resort of the scoundrel.  With all due respect to an enlightened but
  inferior lexicographer I beg to submit that it is the first.
