New System Build-Jan 2012
This system was built primarily for studio recording, hence the choice of a case optimized for quiet yet effective cooling. The absurdly high capacity PSU was chosen due to its compact size and extremely reasonable price for a unit of such high quality that is offered by a leading manufacturer. Its impressive energy effeciency ensures that only as much power as is required by the system at any particular time is delivered, thereby minimizing running costs. It will also allow for easier and more reliable upgrades should any newly installed components require greater wattage.
