what a load of snake-oil bullshit lol
Jesus. I thought it was for recording, at least.
Or you could just save your money and put a normal PC in another room where you can’t hear the fans.
This is exactly what I was going to say
You can get fiber optic extenders for USB, video, networking. They can be spendy, like $1,000, but it’s a one-time purchase. A lot cheaper than this computer

Absolutely true, there are some real world scenarios where fiber has the advantage
- Low/No electromagnetic interference
-
- Radio labs
-
- MRI techs
-
- (audiophiles? maybe)
- Low latency, long distance
-
- The source computer can me many meters/km away
- All in one device
-
- One fiber pair can run the full KVM stack for a remote computer
But yeah, for most scenarios, conventional cables are fine, —
Fanless PC cases cost about $400.
Or just go with a fanless one, perhaps an ARM based or even a PC. 🤷♂️
For a such a price I would expect a larger Optane SSD (I am assuming you would use it for your boot/application drive).
2TB base storage is also ridiculous for such a price, although you can fit a lot of music in 2TB even if you store everything in FLAC.
It only runs on triple-filtered HiFi high octane electricity
You can tell it’s high-end by the huge bank of filter capacitors.
I am both disgusted and aroused
You can only get so hard/wet
These specs look like a leftover casserole of hardware.
Optane
Xeon
Yep, leftovers. I wonder if those mobos are server ones as well.
Might be a good sell with upcycling. But power consumption on these is probably nuts.
Windows running RoonOS(Linux) in a docker? Thats why two Xeons?
