Help building a new sys for a friend (firepod)

My buddy asked me to build him a sys. So I figured I would start from the dig/midi interface and build computer from there.

I bought him a firepod. Now it's the Processor/MB/HD...

Can anyone recommend a MB and HD that has known compatibility with the firepod? I will buy a firewire PCI interface card...

Does anybody know why there is the delay or how to fix it. all help and advice would be appreciated.

Upgrading RME converters with Tascam DAT? or not...

Problem...

I hear great final mix (analog) but when I record that thru RME converters (Multiface) it doesn't sound that good anymore.

I recorded in 24bit resolution, 44.1.
Details are lost, highs are muddy, bass not tight. Something is wrong. OK, it is not SO wrong (most people probably would not notice it) but I do and it bothers me.

Techno Singles vs Techno Club Tracks

I hope someone here can help me with a completely novice electronic music question. I'm currently producing some techno music tracks. For research purposes, when I listen to techno albums I hear a bunch of tracks that build and develop in, usually, 8 bar segments and build up over the course of a minute or two into a frenzy and then take off in another direction.
