Powerful Pro PC

Nimbus Pro is built around Intel’s enormously powerful Core 2 Quad processor. Add to that up to 8GB of RAM, a Terabyte of recording space in a RAID-0 configuration, and the passively cooled GeForce 7300GT graphics processor by NVIDIA, and you have the makings of a professional audio workstation without equal.

The design of Nimbus Pro emerged as part of a research project initiated by President and CTO of Rain UK, Robin Vincent. Setting out to take Rain’s QuietCool philosophy of balanced system design to the next level, the team pulled together a deadly quiet combination of acoustic lining, anti-vibration hard drive enclosures, and an extra-large, heat pipe CPU cooler.

Robin Vincent told us, “It was a simple plan really, we wanted to see just how quiet we could make a computer packed with this much power. With all the heat generated by processors running at that level, we knew it would be a challenge to silence the system without sacrificing performance. We’re pleased to say the challenge was not only met, but that it helped us produce our most quiet and powerful audio workstation yet.�

Aiding in the cooling process is a beautifully designed chassis whose all aluminum constructions lets heat dissipate naturally. Nimbus Pro also has unique, scissor doors that slide open to reveal the DVD±RW drive and room for front mounted ports.

Nimbus Pro comes standard with Microsoft’s newest OS, Vista Ultimate. The Q1 ships with the Vista 32-bit edition while Vista 64 Ultimate, able to address 8GB of RAM, is standard with the Q2. Rain Recording believe that the new Nimbus Pro Q series sacrifices nothing to bring you the world’s most advanced technology on a stable, consistent and reliable platform so quiet you can record vocals with one sitting next to you.

Nimbus Pro Q1: Price £1,899 inc VAT (€2,810)

  if you're silly enough to buy RAM and HD's from Apple, that's true, but there isn't an easier machine on the market to install either into.
