Hi Bob,

I have had my current DAW, built around an AMD 64 processor for nearly 4 years and will be looking to upgrade next year. In the time I have been involved in computer music, I have had four machines two of which were especially built and have given good service. Two machines were bought off the shelf and needed extra bits and pieces added, but more importantly both needed repair and replacement too often during their lifetimes. My current DAW had the good bits from my previous DAW installed such as the Video Card, three hard drives, keyboard, monitor and mouse from my previous DAW. All I have had to replace to date is the Monitor and the Power Supply, the latter under the Warrenty. Sadly, the Computer Shop I used has changed hands so I may well need to look elsewhere.
