Building a multimedia PC

Blast9 · 26th December 2003, 12:19 PM

Hi folks!

Happy Hangovers to you all...

Where's a good place to start? Budget £500 UK

(And what r you running successfully?)

I've roped an experienced friend into helping me build a PC from scratch:

This won't be a stand-alone DAW, however I still would like to build a fast, reliable n quiet machine with FW USB and Ethernet connections for internet, media, vid editing etc

Audio

Logic Audio 4.8

I already have a MOTU 828, so the main consideration is to get them to gel without any hiccups

. I can't afford another pro soundcard!

I'd really appreciate any help

Thanks

Blast

Here is a truckload of info. It is a thread on the DUC (userforum from Digidesign), but i think you can get a wealth of information there. Just understand that Digidesign has some additional demands (like mobo and chipsets), and you'll be fine.
