Congrats.  
 
Thanks - James

My current DAW is an old server box with NINE (yes, 9!) fans and sounds like it too.  I have to keep it far away from the mics.

My newer PC (which may have to be used as a DAW if I don't make some good money soon) has a cooling system and is dead quiet.  Gotta love new technology!

Sounds like your running piping as cooling instead of fans , that type is very costly the last time I checked years ago .
 

Gotta love my trusty 2 (or is it 3?) year old DELL. It never even gets warm, no matter how long it's been slogging along with my marathon Sonar sessions. I clean the fan pretty regularly though. 

Well...we're nearly neighbors!  I live in a suburb of Chattanooga.

         Yea I did that too with all my older PCs , I open up my case once a month to blow 
         the case fans and also the dust on and around the motherboard . It always runs
         cooler and smooth after a good clean out using some air . I used to buy can air
         but after finding a good bed pump that blows out air I use it . I found a good
          used electric air pump at our local GoodWill Store for $3.00 . Has a nice tip on it
         that gives me good air pressure like what you get when you use can air . Its better
         then paying almost six bucks a can , no more running out to WalMart now I plug-in
         and blow out my PC .

Well...we're nearly neighbors!  I live in a suburb of Chattanooga.

 
          Cool maybe after moving there we can hookup in person , we should be moving
              apartment lease runs out for this year .
              I'm still installing software and trying to help my wife recover her major mother
              board crash .
              She deleted a motherboard file manually and now afterthing stop working .
              She can't even boot up Windows XP , we been working on trying to fix her
              PC for hours now .
              I just pray she didn't somehow do something to her brand new AMD motherboard.
              She should had used the add & remove in Windows XP to remove that driver for
              EXPRESS GATE in the motherboard .
 
              I have a software called ERASE , it has a BOOT disk and allows you to BOOT
              without Windows OS on the hard drive . I'm hoping she can do that and delete
              the hard drive partition with her Windows XP on it plus we are going to open
              up her case and reset the motherboard and remove the battery .
 
              Anyway trying to fix her new computer is now taking up my time working on
              installing all my music software and updating it , always something !
