Hi Chris,
He has a Delta 1010 that he is going to use for VST rack
outputs, and he wants to possibly get a ProteusX card as
well... so it would have to have at least 2 slots for
those... as you know, PCIe won't work. He wants something
that will fit into a rack mount case with a pair of hard
drives (doesn't have to be a shuttle). Thanks for replying.
David.

HI Dave,
Ah ok it is clearer now.
Here is what I'd do then if he wants to DIY it.
Antec - Take 3 Rack case (It all ready has a quiet 450 watt PS and quiet
case fans.
ASUS A8N -SLI Premium
AMD - Athlon 64 X2 3800
Zalman - CNPS7000 heat sink
2x 1 gig DDR3200 CL2 ram
SEAGATE - Seagate 80G OS drive
Seagate 300gig SATAII 16m cache drive
FX 6200TC (they make fan less ones)
PIONEER - DVR111B
Microsoft - WINDOWS XP Professional
The board works fine with M-Audio, EMU, RME, MOTU, TC and sorta UAD.
You'll probably be looking at 14-1500ish in parts if hes gonna DIY.
Pretty much add 300-400 if you want us DAW builder types to do it
instead and get a warranty and tech support and such.
Chris

Hi Chris,
Cool, thanks for the suggestions. I was leaning toward
X2... nice to see you recommending a MB for it. I will be
building this for him myself... we do turn-key custom
systems here as well, so assembling and tweaking this will
be fairly simple.
As for the PSU and case fan noise... he plays keys for a 7
pc R&B band that I do sound for. With live horns and a
cossack for a drummer, I don't think we would hear a 747
warming up next to the stage! ;-) He will probably like it
at home though...
I appreciate your input, thanks!
David.
