the new configuration will probably be:
2019 MP, 16-core, ~150 GB RAM, Radeon Pro W5700X, 1 TB SSD, HDX 1, and two m.2 expansion cards that will presumably utilize fans. (suggestions for quiet m.2 cards definitely appreciated!)
without factoring in the unknown impact of m.2 expansion, has anyone run a somewhat similar new MP configuration in their control room without noise issues?

My 2019 Mac Pro is totally silent.
The HDX card I have in there is also totally silent except when I restart the computer- it spins up for 2-3 seconds and then goes silent.
The new MP is the quietest computer I've ever owned.
This M.2 card what I use:
