Hi all,
I am going to upgrade my machine, which is going to become the principle ool for mixing ect in my music studio. I do not want to go Mac, as I will use the machine for a lot of other things also. I have never actually put together a pc from the ground up, though I have tinkered a lot. I am looking for cheap outlets, instructions, places to buy parts ect, advice in general, and I thought this might be a good place to come for help. For instance, I must have a very fast motherboard, though not too pricy... a good deal on something really good, but not eh best would be preferable. Processer should be around 2.8 ghz or above. Motherboard should have ethernet, built in video at least 64mb memeory, though prefer 128. I own a radeon 7000 64mb pci card, and can go that way if a good deal merits. I want the case itself to be ultra quiet, for use in my studio. Power supply and fan I need schooling on. I have a good cd burner, 3.5 inch drive, and 120 gb western digital hard drive, I will want a lot of good fast memory for this baby. I can go in around $700.00, all told on the machine, maybe a little more. any advice on where and how to shop appreciated. Also, if anyone knows of good books, sites, ect on assembly, that would be appreciated to. I know some about all this, but not too much. Thanks in advance.
