Haha no, a Behringer A500. That Yamaha is a big classic though...the Behringer is a little smaller (2U rack mount) I was about to type up an explanation for different types of PC fans, but I found this webpage which does a great job. http://pcbheaven.com/wikipages/How_PC_Fans_Work/

Got it. Sounds like you are a bit of an audio person. Behringer gear is a pretty good balance of quality and price point, and I use their DCX2496 and 3 A500 amps for my tri-amped stereo listening setup. Since you have the option to run a digital signal all the way out of the PC to a good DAC...

Like i7Baby said...the answer is basically YES. While it is unlikely that the fan will introduce electrical noise into the audio signal after it is converted to analog, it will add acoustic interference as it moves air. Sound is just pressure waves traveling through air to your ears. Any fan...

Well, I guess that it is good that I changed my passwords everywhere back in April when the Heartbleed thing happened. ddpruitt, Here's the thing...I don't trust password managers any more than I trust websites. If hackers gained access to THAT, I would be even more hosed. It's risky enough to...

No doubt, patching this for XP was the "right" thing to do. As much as I am sure that MS wants people to buy licenses for their newer OS'es, they made a smart move by fixing a major hole for a platform that they said they were finished with. As Withoutweakness said, it probably wasn't all that...

Kudos to Microsoft for this. I can probably stall on updating my parents' computers to 8.1 for a few more weeks lol.

Jessica reached up to adjust her headset to get a better view of her Facebook feed to see if it had any new updates, just as she stepped off of the curb to make high-speed contact with a bus. In a testament to the robustness of the Glass, it was pried out of her mangled cranial flesh with a few...

Interesting stuff. I think that many people might be surprised about what their "online signature" actually looks like when aggregated and posted by a third party. I deleted my various social media accounts a number of years ago, partially because I realized that it is NOT a game, and privacy is...

"...and then I was like, hey, that's not a bear, it's a mailbox! Get it? Dude, really, are you checking your freaking facebook while I talk to you?!" $1500 to beta test for Google. Deal of the century! (for Google) BTW the marketing photos that Google uses to advertize Glass always crack me...

Ha, I remember those days! I was adamant about sticking with Win2k until late 2003 or so. SP1 for XP was probably the configuration it should have shipped with in the first place. - Should XP users switch to Linux? Maybe, maybe not. I have made the switch to Mint and Ubuntu a number of times...

It's more of a general commentary on the current crop of "hot" social apps. FB apparently thinks that there is something to this "anonymous social" thing, and it seems to be what many people want, for better or worse. With speculation about FB dropping another huge sum of money ($100M seems...

These "anonymous social" apps are in fact ANTIsocial as far as I can tell. Indulging people's peeping-tom fancies and to letting them say things publicly without being identified sounds like textbook antisocial behavior. It's bad enough that people have their entire life and identity online...

If you have to use the internet to get random hook-ups, you get what you get. Jimmies status: unrustled. Zero tears.

Well, I mean really, how much security can you expect for a measly $19B? Chump change!

Good grief. If you have to go into chat rooms to "get laid" then you probably need to log off for a bit. It might improve your prospects IRL.
