[linux-audio-user] Processor Recommendation

I've got dual mpx 2600+ on a 50ft chain so it can't
chew on my ears. The computer is in an old Digital
7000 case that's almost six feet tall, there's about
10 fans. I keep it in the bathroom. I'm not surprised
that people don't spend much time in that bathroom. I
think its size and noise almost give you the sense
that someone's watching. :)
