    Shuttle XPC?

    Hi, Has anyone here tried one of these Shuttle mini-PCs like e.g. this one? I think they would make a great portable rig as well as a studio DAW, as they are not crippled in the same sense as laptops when it comes to performance and the precense of a PCI slot for your pro(sumer) soundcard...

Construction tips state that monitors should be angled downwards if they are mounted higher than the listening position but...

    Anyone tried the new WD Caviar HDD?

    Anyone tried them? They're cheap and have big cash but can they be trusted? I know it's a bit early to speak about their long-term performance but if anyone had one fail already, I'd love to know before I order one. /Ola

    How important is the equidistant monitor/head triangle?

    How important is it that the monitors point directly at your mixing position? In my latest drawing (see below), the monitors point "behind" the mixing position and I think I've seen a similar "mixing triangle" in one of John's studio plans. Should I try to move the monitors closer together to...

    Pro.2 headphones?

    Anyone heard of these? It's one of those "much more expensive with a different name" brands, like 797 Audio, but has anyone ever heard of Pro.2 before?

    Now it's kind of my turn. The top floor of our house is an insulated attic, which now will be converted to several rooms. Attached is an idea for construction.

    Who had troubles with the DSP24 driver dropping out of W2k? Also, damn n-track!

    I ran into the sam problem with my new computer and wondered if you still have that problem. I was thinking that it was an IRQ conflict but my crap mobo won't let me assign a unique IRQ to my soundcard. And N-Track crashes after five minutes, both in 98 and 2000 This is what happens if you...

    How stupid is this guy?

    Here we are, talking about how to ensure data integrity and how to avoid HDD crashs and then some guy comes around and does this. http://www.bp6.com/pics/holodeck2/reviews/hd%20mod/hd.htm I especially like his way to make a "clean room" at home... /Ola

    It's been a while - BX chipset

    So, what's the verdict? Is it dead or still the best DAW option? The CUBX-E looks pretty neat but is it worth getting the last(?) BX board on the market? Emeric posted some problems with the CUBX large image files but I never saw any final word on audio. How is the i815 chip doing? Please post...

    A new twist to my mobo choice

    OK, here's the deal. I'm going to buy a computer through my company and this means that the prices are really low due to wierd tax deductions etc. I'm looking at paying 1/3 to 1/2 of the real price, spread out on three years of monthly payments, so the price is less of an issue this time. As...
