1 GPU RTX 5090 RAG server Quiet Build

This quiet system pairs 1x RTX 5090 32GB with EPYC 9374F for document ingestion, embedding refresh jobs, and predictable retrieval response times. It uses oversized low-RPM cooling in a acoustically damped tower and is positioned in the under-10k planning tier, appropriate for deskside use where noise control matters.
