Designed with the best for quiet operation, reliability, and power. This Rackmount Recording PC is built around the iStar Rackmount 4U case and is outfitted with the best computer case insulation available, Acoustipack Ultimate. Don't be misled by competitors claiming to have secret information about audio computer insulation. Acoustipack Ultimate is the most effective, most widely tested case insulation AVAILABLE. It is built specifically to quiet computers in the most effective way possible.

The Nexus 850watt (True 15dB) Inaudible 80Plus PSU is the quietest, most reliable power supply AVAILABLE. Or, if you wish to have even more power available to you, we offer the truly quiet 850watt and 1000watt Zalman Power Supplies as an option.

These (Dual) Socket 1366 Xeon 5500 series server CPUs offer impressive quad core performance (in a dual CPU setup), use DDR3 memory, and include Intel Intelligent Power Technology to save you power and resources. The Intel Xeon 5500 series offers impressive performance (outperforming the i7 Extremes in many applications), at a great price.

Video Cards Every video card choice not only includes a dual head, but is silently cooled either with the manufacturer's video heatsink or is silently cooled with a custom video card cooler.

Western Digital Quiet Hard Drive Every system comes with the most silent hard drive available. Other digital audio workstation and recording PC manufacturers tout the choice of Samsung Spinpoint or the Seagate Barracuda 7200.9. At different times, these hard drives were well known for their quiet features. But, currently the quietest (and the most reliable and best performing) hard drives are the Western Digital Caviar Green hard drives, at 25dB in idle mode and 26dB in active seek mode 3. Additionally, for those of you requiring extreme silence, our recording systems include an option for a Smart Drive hard drive enclosure, which further silences your hard drive without raising it's temperature.

Motherboard Chipset & Voltage Regulators The motherboard contains fanless heatsink and heatpipes to effectively cool the chipset heatsink and voltage regulators, without the use of noisy fans.

As such, the Intel Music Maker DAW PC comes with a default of 8GB of RAM, with lifetime warranty. Our Music Maker PCs also come with an option for up to 24GB of RAM for ultimate performance.
