I listen to caps screaming and fans whirring.
And sometimes, if its a long bench like superpi 32m on an ATOM processor, I will watch tV
Not a big music guy, when I listen it could be anything though. Hardcore/Punk, Metal, Hard Rock, Bluegrass music, Classical (Really like Bach... Pipe Organ is the Electric Guitar of the 16th century
) but hte violiny stuff is okay too
Pretty much anything but modern country music or rap. (Unless its "jokey" rap like Weird Al Yankovich or Eminem, older beastie boys is good too)
