Man I hate the days where nothing goes right.
Probably, I've only used this gear for the past few months so I don't have much time to compare it to.

I keep forgetting how much heat these things put off, especially my mixer and powerbook. Man, I have 2 fans in the control booth. I'm running out of room too while I need more rack space. I'm thinking about chopping out a third of my desk and installing a rack tower....with a fan.
