Bonestonne, You're a legend mate, any info you can provide would be great but don't put yourself in an awkward situation or go to too much trouble on my behalf.

Thanks again

The ProFire 610 is a very versatile interface, small, lots of inputs and outputs, and it has very good ADC's inside (analog to digital converters). I am thinking the Profire 610 would be a good choice, will I definately need a TI Firewire chipset to run it or is there a chance that the motherboards...

I'm going to skip to think important part currently. M-Audio products are a wild ride. If you mentioned this earlier, I would have had a lot more to say, but right now, what you need to know first and foremost is that Firewire interfaces (of any kind) MUST (and this is not something you can get aro...

Cheers for the alternatives, though the silent pc review of the corsair HX range does place them as one the most silent plus they're a wee bit cheaper than the ones listed (not that price is a MASSIVE issue). Getting close to a finalised spec now, for the PC itself now, how many of the Scythe slipst...

Presumably a 120mm slipstream would attach to that Prolimatech Megahalems CPU cooler I listed? I want piece of mind on the PSU, are the Corsairs one of the quietest brands of PSU? I K...

The megahalems is an extremely good cooler, but you still need a quiet fan to go with it: you can save yourselve some money and hassle by going for a Mugen 2: cools very good as well, and below 50% PWM the fan is inaudible.

Wow, thanks for all the input guys! Well in terms of software I'm not entirely sure, it will probably be using a variety of stuff, especially once its in the studio setup as it will be hired out to people with different requirements/music programs so I really want the processor to be as good as poss...

Music Production PC - needs to be quiet as possible

Hi all, building a PC for a friend whose going to be using it for music production in his bedroom for the next 6-12 months before moving into a proper studio space so it needs to be up to the latter task when the time comes, even if that means by upgrading at a later date. It will need a firewire po...

Very impressive. Were the cooling fins added by yourself or part of the case?
