Hello

.

Opus - I am in the midst of gathering all of the pieces needed to duplicate your rig. The Asus P4B266 Mobo is starting to give me a headache. I am finding so many variations of the damn thing. You have said to get the plain jane (no -C version) board. I have now found info that says that there are 2 versions of the chip sets. A 845 and an 845D.

In an earlier post I asked help with designing a laptop system, and want to thank Opus and LittleJames

Greetings all.

Greetings all.

My old K6III 450/Mhz has given up its ghost. So I'm rebuilding with a DAW in mind. This is just for home recording projects at the moment. So the machine will run other stuff too (games, Office...) I'm looking at the new AMD chipset KT266A with an AthlonXP 1500 or 1800 processor. Guitar Center's techie recommended the Delta 44. I don't NEED 4 channels of audio, but it wouldn't hurt?

Is it feasable to use a rack mount case instead of a tower for a daw? I want to build a system that is compact and portable. With all the interfaces available with dsp chip sets, cooling should not be a problem right? :confused: Has anyone used a ego-system WAMi interface? If so what do you think? I want midi and analog, and this is one of the few I've seen that has both.

Well...looky here... a new installment of building your own frankenstein...ooops...PC DAW!
keep getting my forums mixed up :p
So..now that we have the case..floppy..power supply..hard drives(whether IDE or SCSI) and Motherboard we now go on to the fun part! PCI cards and IRQ's! Oh joy oh joy! Yippee!
Now..we explain IRQ's!

Ok folks..the third installment of our ever so popular discussion! PC BUILDING! YAY! WOOHOO! HIP HIP HOORAY!...ok, I'll calm down now! lol
So, we talked about Mainboards, CPU's, Power Supplies, how to configure the drives and CDROM's and Floppy drives...now we talk ABOUT the Hard Drives and CDROM's
