doogiet.

if you DO buy a new pc in the future..
there are a few 'gotchas'.
eg...people assume because they paid 2k on a high end pc that they wont have problems.
sometimes they will because said pc isnt optimised for music production.
i'd like a buck for each time someone has said to me...
'but i spent 2k, how come you only spent 400 bucks and dont have probs'.
the answer is simple...the 2k system hasnt been optimised for music production...mine has.

fyi i got a friend to get a pc like one of the pc's at the link below. saved him big money.
he called me next morning yelling 'best darn pc ive ever had'.
it cost peanuts.
the refurb pc below is the type of pc that used to cost thousands and was used by big commercial studios only a few years ago.
now look at the crazy low price....but ya gotta be a nerd like me to appreciate it.
i know at least one pg user that runs this kind of pc....will eat bb for breakfast.
only needs like lots of pc's optimising for music production.
(see my purchaseing a pc thread at the link i gave you upthread
for more info....whatever you buy in the future ensure you test it with your apps and
conduct the type of tests in the link i gave you and ensure you can return within 30 days.)

there are tons of refurb deals like this on the net and amazon at knockdown prices.

dont sweat the fan noise issue. there are no noise fans one can get a tech to install and there are even companies (eg silentpc.com) that specialise in building silent pc's for studios. OR like many big studios do...just locate the pc aways from the mics etc.

re Canada.

fyi..what bugs me as a taxpayer is canada wastes/spends billions to educate people who then find they have probs getting a job because canada has never implemented an aggressive advanced big industrial base thats world beating or the grads end up wasting their education flipping burgers as some have told me.

the prob being abundance of cdn uni's and schools etc but not an abundance of industrial employers.
finally Ottawa has started listening to those of us who have repeatedly communicated these issues and offered solutions.
in essence we need people in Ottawa with bold industrial visions.
Canada for too loooong has relied on 'dig it up and ship the resources out to other countries'.
who then manufacture advanced products to sell back to us...sigh.

ps a typo on my part re cdn ev's. i meant a range of at least
800 kilometers.
(and prices under 30,000 cdn dollars....then the ev market will
soar imho.).

happiness to a fellow canadian
