Wot is yor DAW? (was: RE: OK, I Give Up)

[random variate]

Looks like your setup has plenty grunt enough to me.

I also have mine setup for quiet. My spinner hard drives only spin up when used. They are in quiet mount chassis holders. And the PC is built in a Carillion DAW case, which is heavy steel, and that is in a Pro Tools rig flight case (I have small cable glands for any cabling).

Also use passive cooled class D amplifiers for PMC monitors.

And run a cheap 1GB 6450 passive cooled gfx card. Lets me connect a couple of Asus 24" displays via HDMI and DVI, no fan noise.

Quiet is good!

My gaming rig (I don't really do DAW) is showing its age:

Intel Core i7 960, stock 3.2 GHz
Supermicro C7X58 motherboard
6 GB RAM (no idea what brand)
Samsung SSD 830 256 GB
Western Digital low-power 2 GB HD
Nvidia GTX 580 graphics card (forgot the brand)
Windows 8.1 Professional

The system has been designed to be as quiet as possible, but with a GTX
580 on board, there's only so much you can do.

My 2015 project, funds permitting, will be to build a small gaming PC to
connect to the TV. I can find no justification to upgrade my current system.
