looking to build a pc, and also use it as a source. wondering: what would make more sense (sound quality and financially):
put my computer in my bedroom closet, and run extension cords for monitor, keyboard/mouse, amp and even external cd rom drive
or
spend the money on making my computer as quiet as possible, and have my tower right at my desk
the logistics of running the cables wouldn't be a big deal in my place, it would be a pretty straight line, out of sight, behind furniture etc. to where i'd have my "input" station.
the former idea really appeals to me, but i wonder how reasonable it is
also, here's my big question: when i hear "noise" being talked about in computer source systems, are we talking just external noise from the computer, or "noise" i'll actually hear through my headphones?
looking at emu 0404 and amp. external dac to come later when have more money
