Looking to build a PC for home recording....

Post by seanL »

I've built about 15 PC's in the last few years, mostly for friends. Some of them were for running ACAD, Solidworks...Rhino, etc....with the emphasis on graphics.

I used to get all my stuff from TigerDirect and then I got a phone call from a salesperson at their parent company GlobalPC...so I get corporate pricing now...... :)

So I'm thinking of making a U3 or U4 rack mount PC just for music.

With a budget of no more than $800 for "the box"....where should I spend the money?

16 GB of RAM? or a SSD HD.....any suggestions for a reasonably priced sound card?

At a later date I want to get a 19" touch screen as they're coming down in price....

Thanks in advance,

Sean
