    your spending an awful lot on modules and your forgetting all the extra expenses, your looking at 500$ in racks cables adapters etc... I would scrap 2 of the modules get or build a nicer computer and buy some mackie hr monitors

    Dang, I wish I could get something like that. Shoot, 1 GB of RAM would dopen my computer out and help all this poppin i'm getting in my programs.

    Better but like Khan said, you're gonna need some monitors and a soundcard like Emu 1212m or Emu 1820.

    im not wastin too much time on this lol. i will say that u can build your own pc for WAY less. and Event SP8's are better than the mackies.

    To build that kind of comp it might take up to 1500 plus u gotta find compatible parts and sweetwater comps come with lots of free software and tweaked to audio production. It really depends on if you have time to build your computer and if you can trust in your own capabilitys because sweetwater comps are warranteed and they give support on them.

    it does not cost $1500 to build that computer. The parts to build that same EXACT computer is under $750. and if you want to optimize your PC for audio production, this is what they do to it:
