I'm starting a upgrade cycle at my little studio and in addition to upgrading some ProTools stuff I decided to upgrade the PC that Acid sits on. I want to get a PC that is specifically designed for music. Right now it is on a 1G Dell Dimension and other non-music apps also share this PC. So I'm going to keep the Dell for the office stuff and move Acid, Sound Forge and a few other music apps to the new station. Does anyone use or has used any of the PC's that you see floating around by MusicXPC, Carillon or even the PC's Sweetwater sells? There is another one I am looking at but my notes are at the studio. I'm not interested in laptops, only desktop PC's. And I'm not interested in building my own PC, got better things to get frustated at trying to do. Thanks...al |

I hear ya! I run Acid 5, SF8 and CDA5.2 on my TDM spec system (P4 1.7Ghz). Sony's products will run on almost anything, Digi is the one you have to worry about. George Ware Message last edited on5/16/2005 4:59:54 AM byMacMoney. |

Since you're not interested in building your own PC, you can usually have whatever vendor you choose to build it for you for a nominal fee. You basically pick the parts and they build it. I had a PC built for me recently that included a 3 GHz P4 with 1 GB of PC3200 DDR RAM for a little under $800; assembly, testing and S&H included. 3-year warranty and lifetime tech support for the system is included free. I bought a DVD multiformat burner and a video card separate, which I installed myself, as well as cannibalized the hard drives, the sound card and the monitor from my old system. Total cost was a little over $900. Iacobus ------- RodelWorks - Original Music for the Unafraid Buy Instant ACID by JohnnyRoy and mD! mD at ACIDplanet |
