Thanks Guys, I now feel a lot happier about having my computer permanently connected to my M gear and you have put my mind at rest.

NCPL (Nick), I don`t have my PC turned on when I`m listening to CD`s or DVD-A because of the fan noise (45dB @ 1 Metre) as you say, but this doesn`t bother me when listening to MP3`s Etc. as background music.

Many Thanks

Mike
