will my comp work with PT Le?

I'm just stepping into the realm of digital recording...so it's great to find a resource like this--great work!

I am planning on purchasing an Mbox with Pro Tools Le, and would like any input on whether my current computer will work well with it. As far as I could see, it meets all the specs necessary...but would appreciate any further input or suggestions. Here is what I've got:

preamp compressor/mixer signal path

Hi Everyone,
I just bought a Drawmer 1960 pre/comp, and I have a few questions about how I should hook it up.

I want to run a couple of Neumann TLM 170s through it to record Vocals and/or acoustic Guitar.

I have a Soundtracks Topaz 24 channel desk and I'm running into a MOTU interface and with 24 bit analog inputs.

High-End Compressor

I'm in the market for a 2-channel compressor, preferably stereo-linkable... I'm a sucker for the tubey sound, but am open to suggestions...

I have been looking at the Drawmer stuff... the ts2d tubescreamer looks cool, but I have pretty good industry contacts and can get a 1968 mercenary for $1350 and can get similar hookups from other gear vendors (sorry to gloat :oops:)

Mastering compressor: color vs transparent?

Hi guys. I read a while back about you guys using two compressors when mastering. A "colored" comp to add some flavor to the mix and then a Clean compressor to level everything out. Im just curiouse which compressors do you consider right for this type of jobs. Mention some brands and in what category would they fall ?

-Mastering mainly heavy rock music.
-forget about budget
