Got Sibelius 7 for my wife, and need to upgrade the old desktop I guess.
Current desktop has such a loud fan that I haven't really even been using it for serious recording.
Cubase LE user. Firepod (so I need an expansion slot to put in my firewire card, or better yet a machine that is already firewire equipped.)
I'd like multiple monitors, too.
Don't need mega processing power-- here are the req'mts
I'm also a cheap son of a gun.
Any suggestions / links on Newegg...?
