Home Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

I'm with you - I usually spend $800 to $1000 per box and run them for years ( not including sound card)

That amount of hardware gets you plenty of horsepower for music uses, surfing, word processing, e-mail and normal tasks.

Only CAD, serious graphics work, and other "workstation" tasks really requires more.

I built several P4 3 gig units several years ago and my wife are still running them fine today.

I always build with a processor that's several steps down from the latest new thing, gob it up with memory, get a good motherboard and don't look back.

Granted, I put money into a high end sound card - but that sure isn't the cost of the box
