My friend is helping me build a computer; dualcore Pentium overclocked to 4.2 ghz, 2 gigs of RAM, 12,500 rpm system drive, 300 gig samples/plugin drive, 300 audio drive, and i have yet to find out about the motherboard.

Interface, AD/DA: LynxTwo-B
Mic Pre: Great River ME-1NV
Mics: Soundelux U-195, Shure SM-57, Sennheiser MD421
Compressor: Empirical Labs Distressor EL-8
Monitors: Yamaha NS-10s

This is mainly a demo studio, for writing down ideas, for creating songs for fun, etc.,

How does this look to you people?

looks to me like it kicks major ass!

I wouldnt overclock...overkill for audio applications. and voids warranty AND can cause system instabilty..other than that..great!

12,500 rpm system drive???? how? no one makes one of those.

wouldn't you want your audio drive to be the speedy one? Sounds like the thing would sure boot fast. we have some u320 15k drives and they smoke!!!

yeah, you want your audio drive to be the fast one.
