Stereo Compressor "mastering"

Looking for a new compressor for "home" mastering-So nothing above $2k --so maybe in the price range of $600-1000...an early EMT,Altec,Urei,Orban, dbx all seem to be in that price...on the new front Buzz, Alesis CLX 440, SPL,Dramer_____ maybe wait for a used Avalon 747, Manley, Cranesong,,,probably never in that price range andworking . so whats a poor boy to do?

What's better

I am a midiot (noobie) trying to set up a midi lab. I hace a Tascam US-428. Do I use it as the master?

I am confused: Here is my gear. How do I hook it up? :

Kawai K1
Roland MC 303
Korg KAOSpad
Midiman Oxygen 8 keyboard
Midiman 2x2 midisport USB connector
Apple G4 running 9.2

Asus 533 Issues..

I'm going to build a computer for a pro-studio here in town. I told the guy he should go with one of the new Asus boards w/533 fsb, Rambus (he wants a gig), and a P4 Northwood. Someone else told him that This will have many issues particularly with Asio drivers under certain conditions, Latency, and Vst Instruments.

error 000.175

Ever gotten this? I've got a Roark Data Scsi box with 2 drives (Seagate 9.1 gigs). I've started getting this randomly, usually on the 2nd drive. If i'm playing back a fairly high track count, the drive locks up. It freezes the whole rig. I can't even Blue Z to see what's happening.
