Hello, I'd like to get some help on building a cheap PC for drums recording.
I used to use my ASUS EeePC 901 with TASCAM US-1641 and it worked well to capture a kick (trigger), snare and two overheads. Recently I bought tom mics and I want to expand my hardware be able to record at least 10 tracks simultaneously.
I want to stay with my US-1641, I also use Cubase and/or Nuendo. I just need to build a cheap win XP or win 7 based PC. This PC will be used to recording only thus a simplest graphic card is enough. No music card is needed as I will use US-1641 or YAMAHA MG 166C USB (for stereo rehearsal recording).
Please suggest me:
- motherboard
- CPU
- operating system: win XP or 7
- RAM
- power supply
- case
- cooling
I want it to be inexpensive yet reliable.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers.
