[linux-audio-user] Announcing the "KarmaPod"

[David O'Toole]

Hi there, 

the typical ambient temperature inside the PC chassis is about 24-30
degrees Celsius. Typical CPU temp in the 40s or 50s. I've never had
any overheating problems with the machine, despite it being on for
months at a time in the summer. 

I do not have a temperature probe inside the rack but outside the
PC. Because the particular rack case I have is quite open, I imagine
it's usually room temperature. 

I don't have one of those nifty decibel meters, so I can't give
distance + decibels for the machine. I consider it very quiet, when
you factor in all the drives etc. It's obviously better when the fans
have just been cleaned. 

Is there a way to get accurate decibel readings using my Delta 1010
and Pd? I'd do it and post the results. . .
