Astoundingly Noiseless System

This diminutive Fanless Quiet PC is an ideal media machine built around the mCubed HFX Mini Case

We've teamed up with Goodwin's High End to create this beautiful music server. Goodwin's High End is considered to be one of the top US high end audio specialists. For over 30 years, their attention to detail and knowledge of music reproduction and room acoustics have been brought to bear on systems for their discerning clientele all across the US.

Combine the Goodwin's High End expertise with our extensive knowledge of the perfect quiet PC, and together you get a powerful, quiet music server, that produces flawless, high definition audio playback. This system is a must for anyone looking for the best sound quality available, without the distraction of computer noise.

An Exclusive Audio Card Option

In addition to the quiet computer itself one more component needs to be added in order to make this into a music server -- and that is the audio card. Goodwin's High End has tested the Lynx AES16 and is recommending it be utilized as the audio card in order to create a music server that can output a very low-jitter digital audio signal via AES-EBU. The supported sample rates include: 44.1, 48. 88.2, 96, 176.4, & 192kHz at 16, 20, or 24 bits. By contacting Goodwin's High End you can purchase this audio card for either professional or self-installation.

If you decide to have Goodwin's High End install the AES16 card professionally, we can ship your system to their store. From there, Goodwin's High End will install the Lynx Station AES16 audio card, test your system (again) to make sure that everything is working perfectly and ship to your door. By choosing self-installation, you can be sent the card to install yourself.

We recommend having Goodwin's High End install this card. Not only will there be no chance of incorrectly installing the card and the requisite drivers, but their testing will make sure that everything is properly set up in terms of software configuration so the music server will output the best quality digital signal possible. You can also pick up a lot of great audio products for your audio system from them. Aside from a high end outboard DAC (digital to analog converter) which will interface well with the output of the music server, they also have a wide variety of products including speakers, room treatments, turntables, and more!

In addition to having this system which is impervious to noise, you have the option of the Lynx Studio Technology AES16 Audio Card. By contacting Goodwin's High End you can purchase this audio card for either professional or self installation.

Lynx Studio Technology AES16 Audio Card

The Lynx Studio Technology AES16 multi-channel interface is the ideal way to integrate digital consoles, multi-channel A/D and D/A converters, and hard disk recorders with computer-based workstations. Using exclusive SynchroLock technology, jitter is eliminated for the purest conversions possible, and the AES16 supports sample-rates up to 192kHz. Large, on-board buffers ensure glitch-free recording and playback, aided by an extremely efficient zero-wait state DMA engine. These features provide tolerance to system latencies and significantly reduce load on the host CPU. The AES16 is a great centerpiece of a digital studio.

Fanless Video Cards We choose the quietest video cards available in the market. Every video card choice is silently cooled either with the manufacturer's fanless video heatsink or with a custom silent video card cooler. As well as being absolutely silent every video card offers support for at least two monitors simultaneously, many with options for more.

Quiet Hard Drives Every system comes defaulted with some of the most silent hard drive options available. Additionally, for those of you requiring more silence, our systems include an option for the Smart Drive Neo hard drive enclosure, which further silences your hard drive without raising its temperature. Or if you are looking for total silence choose an SSD! Solid-state drives (SSD) have no moving parts, so they make no noise, have blazing fast read times, and are more reliable than standard mechanical hard drives.

Extensive Testing

Each of our systems go through a rigorous burn-in process. We test our computers at 100% load for 24-48 hours to test the thermal and acoustic properties. Each system is custom tailored for optimum airflow, silence and performance at full load. Whether the system is shipped with an OS installed or not, each system goes through the same rigorous testing process. We check every component and each port throughly before the PC ships. Our goal is to ensure stability and longevity as well as the highest performing and silent PCs on the market!
