No offense taken with "cheap." Heck, I am glad there are those of you who buy quality new stuff and when you tire of it, the Brahmin sell it on the used market to us, the nightsoil-porters [grin]. I doubt I'd have ever bought Stax headphones new, for example.
Back to the topic of noisy PCs, such as Power Spec, I never considered noise a factor at the time. This hobby is insidious. Probably, I increased my listening to quieter music (not just loud rock) so silence is now valuable. I was amused, in one of my amp mod threads, a replier mentioned that "I wouldn't hear the fan when the music was playing." Of course, silence can be a part of the musical experience. Just because I live near both an airport and a highway, doesn't mean I need a mini-wind-tunnel going in the middle of the night.
