I'm getting to the point where its time to start building a new work horse for my studio.
What I want:
-Athlon 1800+
-512 Megs of RAM
-Stripped ide RAID
-Flat Panel Montior
-Everything Rack mounted in SKB rack(my gear spends very little time in one place)
I'm sticking with my delta 44 soundcard for now and I may pickup a 1010LT when they come out depending on the price.
First thing I want to get is the Harddrives and RAID Card because they can be used in my brothers machine that I'm using now. Any suggestions on card and which Harddrives?
The next thing will be the motherboard and processer. I like the Athlons because of there price to proformance ratio. Motherboards seem to dictate how stable a machine is. Which Athlon motherboards are the most stable right now while still being affordable?
Next would be the Montior. I think I'm going with the cheepest LCD I can find. I just want something that is easier to drag around than a CRT. Also I find them much easier on the eyes. I wish I could take this one off my laptop and hook it up to a desktop.
Once I get all that then I want to pick up a nice rack mount case and some sort of drawer for the LCD and keyboard. I'm hopeing to get an old skb rack from my boss to put it all in. (I work for a live audio company) I wish SKB made computer cases. Anyway who makes cheep yet rugged ATX rackmount cases?
