Well, after many years of having a crap PC with 48MB of RAM, a 28.8k modem, and a crap CPU, at the end of the month I should be getting a new computer ... I'm ordering the parts from Overclockers and getting my brother's friends to assemble... I'll list the components (which Horsefactory kindly helped me with) ... if I'm missing anything you can think of, please tell me so I don't have to order more parst and wait longer than is strictly necessary! thank-you :) LIST · Abit NF7 nForce2 (Socket A) Motherboard · AMD Athlon "Barton" XP2500+ 333FSB (Socket A) CPU-OEM · Coolermaster Aero 7 Lite (Socket A) · Crucial 512MB DDR RAM · Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600SE 128MB DDR TV-Out/DVI (Graphics Card) · Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 120GB 8MB Cache HD · Asus CRW-5232AS 52X CD-ReWriter · CoolerMaster Centurion - Silver (Case) · Q-Tec 400W Dual Fan Gold PSU · Hyundai ImageQuest Q77OS 17" Flatscreen Monitor Hmm, I seem to be without a sOund cArd! :D how weird... |

good to hear paul! Due time :) |

I've had nothing but good experiences with my M-audio Audiophile 24/96 sound card - though these days you might look at one of their outboard USB models. Get a full gig of ram if you plan to use large sample sets and lots of VSTs/ VSTis. |
||||||||

|
Looks alright to me. Except for the soundcard...... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I expect that, once it's all settled in, I'll add another 512 of RAM :] I am so excited about being able to do multiple dynamic effects and hearing the music develop as a whole ... right now, I have to do the music a bit at a time, then export stuff as WAV, and sequence it together, hoping that my intuition paid off ... really laborious and open to laziness :$ Hopefully, there will be a marked improvement in my musical structure and production! If not, I have no excuses left! :D |
||||||||

|
I vauguely remember there being a reason for no separate soundcard, but I simply cannot remember -- maybe Horsefactory will see this thread and remember :D |
||||||||

If you ever need any help with reason, give me a shout. |

Where did you get the cash? Only a few hours back you said you couldnt even afford a blank CASSETTE??!!! |

Like how to delete it? ;) Only joking... its just not my bag that proggy! |

A lot of NForce boards especially nForce 2 have sound built on :) |
||||||||
|

|
|
It's a very good program but i don't use it for much these days. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That probably explains it, Chris! :D Thanks! Haha - I'll have to recheck the specs and all, to see if the built-in soundcard is adequate - it must be, because Sam told me so :D Saul - I'm not funding all of the pC _ I'm splitting the cost with my girlfriend ... she's about to get a bit of money through, and I'm saving up for two weeks, so hopefully all will be well! |

I still think you should buy some cassettes aswell! atleast 1. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would trust Sam :) I believe it's 5.1 decoding on a lot of them. Don't know if that counts for anything for you :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have no idea what 5.1 decoding is :D Saul - I may get a tape recorder and some tapes ... this week I will be recording myself Radio Tuning Jamming (RTJ) !! |
||||||||

5.1 Surround Sound :) |

I'm desperately in need of new computer. Buzz is running on %80 :( |
||||||||

|
|
You've given me the impetus to compile the specs for my new computer :D I bought the case the other day but I hadn't got round to acutally doing the specs of the components. |

new computers are nice *holds G5 ever so tightly* |

Yes, that looks about rright. |

The motherboard has an onboard soundcard and because you were going for budget I decided that you'd be alright without one, you can always order one later on if you want. |
