I have so much fan noise from computers, I'll never hear it from the radios. 
I have nowhere out of the way to put a radio anyway, I'm cramped in here as 
tight as can be so not having the face attached to the radio is about the 
worst thing for me. There's just nowhere to put things. That's 1 reason I'm 
scaling the computers back, that will give me a tiny bit of room. Not much, 
but a tiny bit that I'll fill in no time. I'm in a slightly small bedroom 
here which is my office, radio room, bedroom, livingroom, work area, and 
what ever else I want it to be this week so there isn't a bare inch of space 
hardly anywhere in here. 2 people is a crowd.
