it'll be far too noisy for audio. do you game as well and need the overclocking? http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/ you can get the same mobo plus 6gb ram plus i7-930 (non O/C) for £530. of course you can also get hdd, os, case, psu etc etc...

Hmm, I was worried about the noise, I don't play games - this will be a DAW PC only. PC Specialist looks good, I've priced up a decent system for under £1000. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks Scott, I've been looking at a Scan system - they come highly recommended and look the business, I'm unable to get one that I like for under £1200 though, which is a little too steep for me at the moment. If its not giving away trade secrets, what do you think of the Goigabyte GA-X58 board? I was considering an Asus PT also.

Jaimie, check these guys out:
http://www.xlprosystems.com/catalog/index.php
Cheers Jonesy, I haven't seen these guys before - I just priced up a system but it comes to a little over my budget  . I think if I'm going to a specialist builder than I would get a system rather than the components, which is what is pushing the price up somewhat. I don't want to spend almost the same cash and build myself a turkey though! I'm in two minds as I have plenty of experience in building systems but this will be my first DAW only machine.

 import from the US? might want to give Scan a call, he may be able to meet your budget. i know he did for a guy in another thread on the KVR forum. now you know i never talk about motherboards unless i am bashing the Intel X58 :-) pming you..

Thanks Scott,
I may see if Scan can accommodate me as I really like the look of their systems and the build quality has a great reputation.

That would be my only reservation as well. But - if the combined knowledge of this forum can't get you up and running.........

Cheers Jonesey, I think I'll just build the bugger myself!
