Nice job and a good price! I assumed most of the head-fi'ers already did PC silencing since it is a necessity for an enjoyable listening room. Here is my current main rig using Nexus 120mm/92mm fans. The CPU is an Intel 3.2 cooled by a Thermalright XP90. The hard drives (SATA 500 Gigs total) are...

>>1: Make sure the PPC has some type of hold button, or a multiple key combo to take it out of hold to prevent accidental shut down or skip. This is a software feature, not unique to a certain PPC. The player I use also lets you reconfigure the hardware buttons so I can easily play/pause...

I use an iPAQ 4155 and I also deem the sound quality "pretty damn good" for what it is. It has a fair bit of background noise when you use very sensitive phones (Westone UM2) but it still sounds good. That's my main portable setup; either the Westones or PX-100 with 4155 and it is certainly...

Making your computer quiet is not that tough... and would open up your possibilities quite a bit. I have a Prescott Pentium that overclocks to 3.7G and it is nearly silent. A good power supply and a few Nexus fans is all you really need to do it.

I cannot offer any meaningful comparisons between canalphones as the Westone UM-2s were my first major headphone/in-ear purchase, but they are fantastic. I wouldn't look past them as a possibility when shopping in this price range. They are the first phones I've owned that come close to giving...

For Canadians, Lee's Electronics in Vancouver also has a Hakko knockoff with the exact same specs for $55 CDN: http://www.leeselectronic.com/Soldering%20Equipment.htm
