A friend is putting together a DAW, and has asked for advice.

His current spec plan is as follows, could you please provide feedback on it:

Asus PC-DL Deluxe Motherboard, Featuring 400MB/s Firewire and 1 gb/s Lan capability, on board AC-97 audio, and four USB 2.0 ports.
Dual XEON 3.06ghz 533FSB CPU's
2GB Corsair TwinX Dual Channel Ram (ultra low latency 2-2-2-5)
Western Digital Raptor 10kRPM Sata 70 GB Audio Drive

Tagan 480 watt EPS 12V whisper quiet 21db PSU
Lian-LI full tower Aluminium case
Sony DVD-RAM drive

Finally - he's planning on building it himself, but is interetsed to know of any UK vendors who sell specs like this - so if you know of any please let me know the names / websites.

Please let me know.
