1. re keeping a computer for 10 years.
yeh i get it. but unfortunately i dont have your patience. lol.
what the heck happened to moores law that said "power would double every 18 months" ?. it seems ages its taken to get to 3/4ghz processors. laws of physics of course.
2. paying 2k for computer. this is where i get in a quandary.
i can get dual xeon refurb "beasts" of pc's for 600 bucks with all the trimmings (eg hp z ). OR if i'm tempted to pay 2k to 3k for a pc ;
i would have to consider one of the custom pc's from custom builders of turnkey recording pc's that the big recording studios buy.
just pure dsp beasts that run huge trak and plug in counts.
eg...check these out....
purrfect audio, rok box, adk pro audio, scan.co.uk etc
eg this very extreme pc up to 384 ddr4 of ram and xeons all the way. wowser.
