The NRR-1 and Le456 plugins are great amp sims, with KeFIR or LeCab used for cab impulse loading. All free and you can find quite a few impulses for free around the interwebs too. But don't let them being free make you think they are in any way bad quality. Check them out and then decide if you...
He's only gonna be able to rewire a 4ohm cab to 16ohm... I agree though, completely pointless. Go for the 8ohm version and add another of the same 8ohm 410 cabs, or just go with the 4ohm and have be. "I think he is an idiot"... The guy IS an idiot.
Probably where your problem was. If you want the best for a flight case, you're gonna end up spending big money. My hard case alone cost me £100 and it's still not something purpose built for taking on flights.

Every DAW should have a good handful of delay effects too. and there's plenty of great free ones you could download, because as boulder said, it's a very simple effect.
Your hard drive is fairly good, especially for a small drive. It could carry on being your main OS and app drive, assuming you don't install a lot onto the computer. If you do use it for a lot of applications, you may find a bigger drive to suit you better. Once you start filling up over half...
Often best to just start a new thread with ones this old. =P But as you've already done it and I have read it...
You definitely won't get both instruments in hand luggage. You could take one though. I'd put whichever one you want in the hold to be in a very good hard case. Make sure it has a...
I got mine pretty cheap at a home store. I got it, just because lava lamps are awesome. No matter what era it is. =P I like the sound of your blue/orange one. Mine is blue/green. Suits the blue room. =P But I think I'll get myself a fancy new red one, once I redecorate. =D
I'd say keep to 44.1 for music. If you can, and have the space to do so, record at 24, 32... or whatever you can put it to. Then bring it down to 16 after recording to put to CD. If you are doing audio for DVD/film, 48 is definitely better for you than 44.1.
I know the stutters thing can be done using a triggered gate or something. Never done it myself, but you use the rhythm guitar or something so that the vocals "stutter" in the same rhythm. Don't ask me how exactly you do it though. I have no clue. =P
This one definitely my fav so far.
As for worrying if it needs to be squashed once it gets in the mix, well that's something you can always add once you have it in the mix. Better to do too little and add more, than add too much and not being able to remove it.
i3 no doubt about it. For a little extra, you could put some more money into an i5. They don't cost a whole lot more, but give a noticable difference to the i3s.
Oddly, I still prefer your sound. =P His guitar sounds very squashed. As subjective a word it is. =P Go with what you have and see what it sounds like with a full band around it. That's when you'll really start to hear where you need to tweak to bring it out more.
You may look at 2 separate hard drives. One as your main drive and programmes, the other for your plugins and samples. Ends up working faster, because you don't have one drive trying to both run the programme and all the plug ins.
I assume you mean you won't be using the on board video, because...
The i7 2600K is an 1155 chipset. The mobo is a 1366. These are not compatible. If you buy them both, they will not work, and could possibly damage one or both the pieces of equipment. Look at the Z68 boards, rather than X58. That should solve your problem. =]
The other has already been...
It compresses in a way. But not in the sense of an actual dedicated compressor. Either way, you don't NEED a compressor anyways. It's just one of the many things you can do to add "tightness". What the tubescreamer can do is boost some of those mids you'll need though. So that's a bonus from it...
