I have a pair of AKG C1000S mics at home. I plan to put the little cap insert on them to make them "appear" more directional, although they are still compressor mics. I'll be recording everything from a mic'd guitar amp, (bass and amp when I get those as well) to congas and bongos, triangle, wood blocks and my didgeridoo. I'm not sure if they will pick up PC fan noise or not, but for my ear (a picky one at that), it probably WILL pick up too much and I'll have to setup my instruments outside of my office/studio room during a recording session. (I have a digi001 I'll be interfacing to OS X so I can't help with the linux side of things, only the audio side.)
