I'm building a new PARIS system. After almost 20 years on a now ancient Asus/AMD mobo running a four card, four monitor system I decided I needed to update. Actually I was pushed into it because the Asus system isn't stable anymore. It crashes a lot. I have music I want to record and dealing with this crash-machine was making me not want to start.

Tonight was the successful completion of step 1: The expansion chassis.
I looked at the VirtuaVia that many here recommended, but ended up getting a 13 card Magma on ebay. I got both a PCI and a PCIe host card for it (also from ebay). I had to get the cable from Magma (now called One Stop Systems). Interestingly, their headquarters is located 10 minutes from my house. I'd like to get a quieter power supply.

Anyway, I was able to bring up the Magma on a spare Asus system running XP I have here using the PCI host card. I loaded PARIS on this old system using Mike's fantastic installer. I loaded a spare EDS in the Magma and used a 442 for I/O. With a little fiddling PARIS loaded and correctly recognized the hardware.

I'm calling this a win and relaxing with a lovely Dragon's Milk Stout.

Next step is assembling a new system.

I'll start with Mike's recommendations for a mobo. Anything newer I should look at? I'm thinking Windows 7 32 for an operating system. I've kept all of my PARIS systems very software lean and off the internet so no anti-virus software either. I'd like to upgrade the monitor situation too so I'll probably need a video card.

This next step will take a while, but I'll keep y'all updated.

If anyone has thoughts/advice please post here.
