The only negative thing I've heard about them is that they are
loud...comments?

Thanks for the pointer, however I'm looking for something smaller -- I'd have
to mount the Appro 1124 in a four-post rack or mid-mount at best, but the
Netra x1 can be front mounted.  What's more, the Appro's BIOS doesn't look
like it can redirect the output to only the serial port.

Power-hungry California likes small, cheap boxes which don't need video cards
and lots of drives...
