Shawn, Strange about the noise. Did you order it with the quietest fans available? Mine is barely perceptible, with 4 fans running. You can also add more sound-proofing if you wish. Look for acoustic foam and soundproofing kits on the web.

In weeks to come I'll post my observations about this tool and what I think of its performance. I'm getting ready to load 'er up with some of these 60 track projects with tons of plugins. We'll see how she takes it... So far I have just been messing around with the sonar sample content and she's running good. The only disappointment is the output of noise she has... Not quiet at all. I had hoped for a system which would barely whisper, but that isn't the case here... I'm still definitely having to use sound barriers with this machine... Oh well... You can't have it all I guess... I plan to also track some guitars today to test her out. Best, Shawn PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
