i've been quite busy lately, and will be for the next 4 weeks as the database and webapp ive been working on for 2 months goes live. but i needed some time for my ead to just chill out so i came here. hello, and i will probably be back in another month once everything is done and i can start recording again ( how badly i want to).

whats everyone's facination with massively expensive computers for recording. if you pay $2000 for a computer that can record songs through your delta 1010 or a $700 that can record your songs through a 1010, why are you going for the $2000? my project is to build a rackmount computer that i will use solely for recording remotely and in my practice space. budget? well that isnt totally decided, but i think i will stick with the $700. and another $100 for the monitor. to tell you the truth this is how it looks like it will fir together. Dual FCPGA 733 p3s, crucial 512Mb ram, 40Gb ATA100 HD, Adaptec scsi card, 8x yamaha cdrw, 4U rack case, floppy drive, Matrox graphics, 17" monitor. I have that configured for $800 as we speak, so by the time im back in the country i bet you can knock atleast $50 if not more. To tell you the truth, that will also last a hell of a long time in computer terms. and hey spare yourself some money take some time and look for the cheapest parts you can find. best of all ebay it for those not so critical pieces.
 
Buy those cheap parts kristian. Pick up a cheap wig while your at it(you will need it after the level of frustration you can expect in generica land). I like it when people buy cheap components, gives me business replacing their $69 motherboards with what they should of bought in the first place. :)
 
Ive got a $499 computer, added a Maxtor Diamond Max 7200 30G drive for $119 and added 256mb ram recently for $49.....$99 for a CD burner......does fine for me....i may get a more stable motherboard that will let me overclock the celeron with a better case and power supply, but im doing fine now......for what I do (hobby) its more than enuff.....beats the hell out of 4 track cassette.....

glad to see ya around.....
 
i will place a review after this alleged mobo doesnt work, or does, we will see.
