For those of us in the digital media field, or for anyone who needs to minimize data errors without huge redundancy, these many internal fans could murder us. Digital audio's place inside a computer is like that little girl from the Pepsi commercials wandering around in Compton. I'm worried that all of these little fans whirring inside the box, although silent to the ears, would cause more pops and clicks than a 78 of Jimmie Rodgers that's spent 6 decades in the back of a Buick. Of course there's the matter of hardware failure, and it WILL happen. All hardware fails, even that big fan on the back of your beige box. But is anyone else worried about data integrity?
