I'm not sure if I'd trust the fanless PSU, especially if the warm air is circulating out through it. There are regular PSUs that are extremely quiet on the market. It's also best to mount the hard drive so that it doesn't contact the case. This will raise its heat levels but will reduce...

I recommend water cooling. Its main benefit is that I can get silence AND performance. I have my C2D E6400 clocked to 3 GHz with no noise whatsoever. For a case I recommend the Antec P150. Mine is pretty homemade (only the waterblocks for processor and graphics card are "pro" stuff) but...

Right, so my situation is this. Currently I've only got simple 2.1 computer speaker thingies, Altec Lansing ATP3 system. Two flat panel speakers and a subwoofer. Now, I'm no "hifi-ear" (except when it comes to guitar gear) and this system has worked well for my needs, from movies to music and...

Saved myself that money (at least for the time being). Installed the latest kX Project drivers (version 3558h) and got it working. Putting the mic levels all the way up, turning on the +20db boost and adjusting Analog Recording Gain a couple of notches gives decent results. For some reason that...

Already tried the +20db boost. I'm using the KX Project drivers and those have them in the control panel right above the mic input level slider. I think junplugged is right, the mic input on the soundcard is propably intended for headset mics and stuff like that. Others on another board...

Since I'm a cheap bastard (or just plain broke) I plug my Sennheiser E609 mic into the mic in on my old SB Live Value. I just got the mic a few days ago and to my surprise it seems that the +32 db gain the soundcard's mic preamp provides is not enough for effectively micing a guitar cab. I...

I've got water cooling too. Very quiet plus better performance due to overclocking. I'm also using a LCD monitor.

It's up there in the first post: "the DMP+Delta44 combo would cost me 346€ while the GINA 3G is 369€" So the price difference is not much. The Audiophile 2496+Yamaha MG10/2 combo is very attractive price-wise but the drawback is somewhat complicated wiring and lots of stuff I don't really need...

I've got an Asus A7N8X-X, which has the nForce2-400 chipset. Using an AMD Athlon 2600+ processor (overclocked, 1.9 GHz @ 2.3 GHz). 1 GB of RAM. Bulls Hit, the DMP3 has got 2 pres, more than enough for me. Over here the Yamaha MG 10/2 goes for 111€ ($138). I need to check into the MG, that would...

I'm planning to get a new soundcard to replace my SB Live Value. I don't wish to use two soundcards at the same time and neither do I need fancy game-fx like EAX and whatnot. My uses would be mostly multimedia (movies, music, games) and occasional recording (guitar and bass miced with a Shure...

Doesn't the Radeon have two outputs? I've got a 9600XT and it has an analog D-SUB and a DVI output. If your card also has these you could get an adapter for the DVI-out so you can plug a CRT into it.

I'd rather not add more gear..I know the UB802 is quite cheap but really don't need more stuff clogging up tables etc. I was hoping the wiring mess could be solved with adapters and/or cables.

Planning to get the Audiophile 2496, but I was wondering how I should plug in my speakers (Altec Lansing ATP3 if I remember correctly..two flat-panel speakers and sub) and my wireless headphones (Vivanco something) into it. The speakers are connected to the sub which is connected to the...

The EMU 1212m is a bit out of my budget, goes for over 200€ around here. Is there a difference between the DMP3 and 1010LT preamps? Is one significantly better than the other?

I'm putting together a simple computer home recording setup, primarily for recording guitar but later on bass as well. I will be micing my cab with a Shure SM57 and recording just one track at a time. Not looking for anything fancy, I just want to get good recorded guitar tone on the 'puter. I...
