Hi all. The plans for my current PARIS-based DAW system weren't *really*
supposed to kick into gear until I opened the studio doors in January. But
given all of Mike's progress I'm champing at the bit to make the jump now,
to install PARIS on a PC - even a rudimentary, low-cost PC - and worry about
a final rig later after the inevitable studio setup costs are sorted out. I
can transfer the PC experience I've gained directly into decisions about a
new rig later.
Which brings me to this ad in my local Craigslist - what do you think for
$150?
17" LG studioworks E700B CRT Monitor
17" 777B Case W/400W
LG 16DVD/32x10x40 Combo
AMD Athlon 2200XP (1.83Mghz)
1GB DDR400 PC3200
64MB MSI GeForce4 MX440 w/TVout
asus A7N8X nvidia nforce 2 ultra 400
seagate 250GB HD 7200RPM 8MB Buffer
labtec pc webcam
1.44 floppy drive
[I know I'd put in a beefier PSU right away, and sooner or later replace the
video card with a dual-head of some description. I'd eventually get rid of
the monitor, get a dual-head KVM switcher (ironically even the cheapest
dual-head switchers seem to cost more than this computer) and share my Mac's
keyboard, mouse and twin 19" LCDs so both can be accessed with a
button-push.]
So is this a sensible low-cost way get me up and running, and in the PARIS
PC game?
