i simply refuse to buy anything that means i have to keep my music production pc on the net.
as ive said many times on here i will never put a production pc on the net.

fyi Gordon...and thanks for suggesting i look at mini pc's.
i completely underestimated them.
for the princely sum of 500 buckeroons or i guess a few hundred quid gbp i now have two. ..
..one for the net (fanless)...
..one for music production.
i'm a happy boy.
i thought i knew tech haveing spent many years in tech but you got one up on me..kudos.

DCRon.

custom built option. yep. but many people dont wanna spend the extra money. in my tips i suggest this option for people who hate learning tech. frankly tho' to run a modern project studio a user must understand tech imho. otherwise frustration will result.
another nice option to check out is 'off lease ' beasts like hp z series and lenovo or dell. ive seen em around a few hundred bucks.
for lurkers i posted several links in tips forum to custom builders includeing studiocat.
if i won the lottery i would prolly blow 3k on one of those all silent rack mounted beasts.... but i just cant justify....and i just dont need one due to my modest track number needs.
for lurkers heres a link....

anyhoo my ry7 m.2 ssd mini does all i would ever want.
i'm a happy pig. will do over 200 tracks says rb testing.
track genning is blink of an eye. love it.
but obviously might not be suitable for some users that might wanna run a ton of
tracks and resource hogging plugins.
'hey man i wanna run 200 tracks with 5 plugins on each track'...lol.
maybe the big production houses with big orchestral sessions will need a very high end pc tho'.

happiness to all.
