Ugh. I just got a new computer, making sure it was up to snuff for my audio
setup, in every respect... except one. The EDS won't fit due to a hard drive
bay. I could move it, and get into some serious trouble by attempting some
custom mounting, which I am certainly not qualified to do. Has anyone run
an EDS in a Magma? Does anyone know what problems this could cause? Would
I be better off risking the destruction of my computer by trying to mount
the hard draive bay elsewhere?
Thanks for any help
