My main audio computer needs to be replaced....I am looking to put together
a new PC that will be for Paris and also a native platform that I will ultimately
migrate to - but not right away. (Leaning towards Samplitude) My Paris system
is 2 cards, with 1 UAD card.
I have a budget of about $1500.00. What I have come up with myself is
an AMD dualcore 2.6 - 3 pci slots and 3 pcie slots - honkin' power supply
- 7200 rpm SATA main system drive with a 3 removable SATA drive bay for audio.
2 Gigs of RAM.
I know Paris can't make use of it....but should I be looking at dual processors?
Would this send my budget through the roof?
Any specific motherboard/processor recommendations?
Someone want to point me to the ideal system for my budget and needs?

I just bought a used Dell Dimension 9100 for this purpose. It is the first
used computer I've ever purchased, but by the time Digi blesses a model it
is discontinued. The one I got on eBay has a dual processor, decent (7200-160GB)
hard drive and 3 PCI and 4 PCIE slots. It cost me $400 plus shipping.
Of course, I'll be adding a 360 GB music drive, 2 GB of RAM, a dual monitor
card, and a Firewire card. Still, the total will be under $1000.........

Here are the specs of what I'm looking at, cut and pasted from pcsforeveryone.com
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.40GHz - 1066FSB - Dual-Core
- VT - 4MB Cache
Intel Core 2 Duo Motherboard Intel DG965WHMKR - mainboard - ATX - Intel G965
Express Chipset
DDR2 Memory 2 x Crucial 1GB PC5300 667MHz DDR2
PCI Express or Integrated Video (Desktop) Integrated Video (Included with
Mainboard)
ATX Chassis CoolerMaster WaveMaster ATX Chassis - No PS (Silver)
ATX Power Supply Antec TruePower 2.0 TPII-550 - power supply - 550 Watt
Bay Adaptors AIC SATA 3-Bay Removable Rack
3.5" Drive(s) 1.44Mb 3.5" Floppy Drive Black
5.25" Drive(s) Sony 16x DVD+/-RW Dual Layer
SATA Hard Drives 80GB Serial ATA 7200 RPM - Seagate Barracuda 7200.9

dont use intergrated video BAD idea.
Use either XFX Geoforce FX 6200 TC PCI-E or a XFX Geforce FX 7300 GT.

I dont believe these will fit the full length EDS cards.
Check out some of the case from Chenbro. Some of their tower and racks
will fit them fine.

You also might want to check out the Thermalright 680watt

Get a IDE OS drive don't waste your SATA ports on the OS. Using an IDE
drive will also work better for many back up progrmas also.

320 gig SATA11 16meg cache . The 16 meg cache and the SATAII will give
better performance.

Don't know what the (desktop x64) means. If it is XP then it is 32bit.

Thanks for the great input Chris!!!!!
None of your suggestions are available options on the site I was on...(www.pcsforeveryone.com)....it
is a configuration deal similar to the way your site is set up.
I hadn't thought about the case though...I will definitely need one large
enough.
I would love to go with one of your systems, actually - I had already checked
them out before you had posted here. I'm on the fence as to how much money
I can justify for this purchase.....

NO, sadly I am an ex Parisite. I got to the point where I needed to either
migrate Paris to XP or jump ship. With the (lack of) support issues and
the increasing incompatability with certain plugs and apps, I was seduced
by the dark side. M-audio Project Mix I/O and M-powered Pro Tools. We'll
see how that goes :)

You know Gary,
I've decided to keep a Bundle-3 and use it as a summing bus on my old B&W
G3
and build a Dualcore Intel for Cubase 4. I'll see you on the Darkside.
