To prevent from hijacking unsuspecting threads, here it is: I don't like my gear to be running that hot and this summer was a bit too hot. So, few weeks ago I lightly modded Presonus Firebox sides to allow more natural airflow. Until now, it's been running pretty hot (for 1-2 years) and…

I want to add some character to my VCI! I believe pinstriping along each side, a little on each jog wheel, and a big flourish in the space where the upfaders ride would be sick as hell. My graphic designer friend knows a guy that has a vinyl plotter, and he says that vinyl pin striping would be…
