DAGS "Sonex". Not guessing, first hand experience with the product in
using it to absorb sound and reflections. I used it a lot in the studio
business:

thoughts? Will its size affect how well it will block sounds?


Generally speaking, the thicker the material the more sound absorption
at the frequencies you are most likely dealing with.

A combination of distance, intervening walls/partitions, and sound
absorbing materials can be balanced to help you reduce the noise fairly
cheaply.

Other things I routinely do for clients, is do put the computer
enclosure in a cabinet, with a sliding shelf/tray, a "flipper door", and
with plenty of ventilation, either at the bakc, or where the vent will
be directed under the desk.
