You can save a lot of money by buying an amd 780g motherboard. It's cheap, it has the best integrated graphics and you can buy a really efficient dual core cpu (Amd 4850e) for it that will be a breeze to cool. Here's how the integrated graphics perform: http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/amd-78...

badkarma: I see. From what you are telling me it seems like AoE/iSCSI is the better solution. Is it possible to use AoE with sata hd's?

Sorry for necroing this thread once again, but i recently found out about this myself and i'm very interested in learning more about this. badkarma: Maybe you can use PxE instead of AoE/iSCSI? It basically does the same as AoE but it's integrated into the NIC and it supports any interface for Hd's y...

Sorry to hear you decided to abandon the 8 core system. One thing I have found with "dual socket" systems -- of which I own 2. They last a LONG LONG time. So while you may pay 50% or 100% more than the current generation desktop system, you wont need to upgrade for a long time to come. I have an ol...

hi ame, My current system is an old cheap budget machine (intel 4300 1.8 ghz dual core processor, 667 ddr 2 memory, etc). I load one sampler in Sonar and cpu use jumps up to 30% and stays there. Maybe i was overcompensating for something when i planned the 8 core workstation. : - P It's true what yo...

I have a WD6400AAKS 640GB 7200 RPM SATA drive, the only thing I hear is an occasional seek once programs are loaded. I mounted it in a Antec P182 with the stock rubber grommets. Performance is comparable to my old 74g Raptors. Check out the Silent Storage forms for loads of information! Thanks. Fou...

I could probably get by with a quad like you say, but where's the fun in having an ordinary computer? I dont think i will have any problems maxing out a quad or octa core system though. I make drum and bass. In that genre you use a lot of processing plugins on your sounds to get it sounding right. W...

This is indeed a powerful machine. I dont think you will need more than 430w if its 80+. But it will be running at its higher range so fan speed might be higher than say in a Corsair 520HX. I didn't think of that. I switched the 430W for a 600W so i get some headroom and a quieter system. Thanks fo...

I guess i was lying to myself, or at least i was being very naive, to believe that i could get a completely silent but powerful computer if i just wasted enough money. Point taken. I'm going to start planning a much cheaper, more reasonable air cooled system now. I will be back for more advice when ...
