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. . .

Hey out there LAU-ers,
I'd like to make a little announcement for a fun custom hardware box I
built specially for PlanetCCRMA, PureData, and Ardour usage.
I'm sharing my experiences building and configuring such machines, in
the hopes that it will help create a community of people who swap tips
and configuration info to help each other be the most productive (and
most creative) with their Linux Audio Workstations.

I just scanned your page and didn't see any benchmarks on quietness and
temperature. Can you elaborate on how quiet the unit is and more
importantly, the temperature inside the rack and inside the PC?
