Hey Murph, Thinking about picking up this rig to replace my old Alienware workstation as it's just too damned noisy for recording or gaming for that matter. Sounds like a blow dryer under my desk. Wondering how the Blackbird fared on the noise front? (and would like to 'hear' you guys expound on this factor on future system reviews) Is this system - specifically the liquid cooled version - quiet enough to use as a home studio rig - and to also game without need to crank just to get the audio over the 'noise floor. Thanks! Joe-
