building a custom computer ...

yea, due to the recent crash of my old computer, which was due for replacement anyway, i have made a decision to build my own custom computer. something that can withstand alot, for the fact that i spend hours on it a day. so i was wondering what you's all suggest in the way of parts an specs
i want to be able to order my parts from newegg.com

thanks, ron

anyone use an all-in-one DAW with a computer based setup?

i currently use a Yamaha AW4416 workstation and love the ease of use and tactile interface etc. i would like, however, to incorporate a modest computer based system (pro-tools etc.) to allow editing and plugin flexibility. has anyone done this?
if you have, please tell me how, what you can do (control) and what you can't.

Do i need a computer to record music?

Do i need a computer to record. Right now i'm planning on what equipment i should get. I have a Yamaha DGX 505 keyboard and i'm looking for a digital mixer. I know i need mic i getting some dynimic mic and 1 or 2 condenser mic. Also i'm looking at some studio active monitors. Is there anything else i need besides cables? and do i have to have a computer to record? :D

Computer recording.

I currently own a M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 which i use to record into Cubase. I also own a Souncraft Spirit Folio 16/2, which i have running in stereo out to the card.
I am looking to upgrade my soundcard so that i can use the direct outs on this mixer and simultaniously record seperate tracks into cubase. E.g A drum kit, each mic recorded on a seperate track in cubase.
