$209.99 


1 Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield 3.06GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core

OEM 
Item #: N82E16832116754 
$99.99 


Subtotal: $1,207.89 
So my question is how hard would it be to build this system in a rack mount case as aposed to the Antec or is it possible?  I'm looking at this iStar rack.  The New Egg item number is N82E16811165181.  It's $159.99 I believe.  Antec also has a quiet rack for around 250 with power supply.  The rack mount would be great to record on location with my band but I can get by with the tower if I have to.
 
Thanks for the great forum and advice.

    I forgot to mention this will be my first build ever.  I've looked at all the off the rack stuff at Best Buy and haven't been too impressed.  I would like to buy a custom system, but the cash just isn't there.  Rack mount would be ideal to record live gigs.  We would be running from 16 to 24 tracks into the machine.

    Yeah Clifford this system is pretty appealing.  I know the tower would be a little easier I guess.  The idea of building the system is somewhat intimidating but I think it will be worth it.
