One of the more dedicated members of this list got a free server system from LUV and uses it as his personal workstation. It has something like 96G of RAM but makes more noise than most people want in the same building they are in. There's no reason why you couldn't design a system with 24 DIMM sockets that doesn't sound like an aircraft taking off, but most people who want so much RAM have a soundproofed server room. Or they could replace the shitty server fans with high-quality low noise fans.
Or for $50 - $100; they could just replace the "shitty server fans" , with a proprietary water-cooler; - removing both the noise and the possibility that the clunky aluminium heat sink, loosens from the CPU eg http://www.msy.com.au/453-water-cooling- regards Rohan McLeod
