Steve.
Maybe there's some misunderstanding. So i’ll clarify.
I have 2 refurb dell pc’s here, that have given me sterling service.
Not one problem. EVER.
One for the net, and one for song development/roughing out ideas on the go.
And certainly if dan considers refurbs dell also has refurbs that are beasts.
But i understand he was concerned bout installation of his stuff, thus the custom recording pc suggestion.

Dan.
ok with that budget that puts you in custom pc territory.
if were me i would go on gearspace.com and reaper.fm
and start a new thread with the title ...
need recommends on builders of custom recording studio
pc's....youll get a ton of replies/recommends.

it would be helpfull to know your max track/plug in counts you would envisage. and do you anticipate useing big sample/orchestral libraries like many big studios ?


best to you both.
