Taking a break for dinner

Am setting up a computer for the music stuff in the DaveCave(tm) Don't have the monitors or keyboard set up but just for fun, I plugged it in for a few seconds and it is dead silent. So either I have a brick (a nice shiny rack-mounted brick) or it is one of the quietest machines I have ever seen. The build quality is really good -- cables nicely routed and a solid case. Came from Sweetwater Sound -- one of their CreationStations. I had done business with them a few years ago and was very pleased by the service and technical support* and this purchase was no different. The cost is right at where I would be if I purchased the parts and put it together myself so it's well worth the money. *I never needed service on anything I purchased from them but they maintain an awesome online library of drivers, patches, user contributions and demos as well as software updates for most current and past music software. Good thing to have if an obscure library program that you use (cough)Sound Diver(cough) sells off to another company (cough)eMagic(cough) that refuses to support it...
