BTW, mine is now paid for. I guess I can mark it off the list. I got the mid tower PRO DAW. I need to get a Hard Drive dock now for backup drives. I guess next on the list will be a couple of 24" touch screen monitors. Maybe after Christmas there will be a good deal on Planar monitors. I am very excited. I've never had a true dedicated DAW that I didn't have to worry about. Now I will. A few years ago this level of computing power and stability was price prohibitive, at least for me. Thanks Jim!

EDIT> Wow, I just went back and read through this thread. I have to say, I am in favor of capitalism. I'm glad there are pros here and I'm perfectly fine with them making money, in fact the more money they make the better, for them and for us. Good profits equal a better product and a more stable business that will still be there when I need it again. This thread makes me want to burn a tire and cut down a tree, just to aggravate some people I don't even know. Don't worry though, I'm too lazy for all that.
FWIW, thanks to Jim, Scott, and Algeria and any others who make a living making our life easier and better. Sign me up. OH, wait... I already put my money where my mouth is.
You know, Coca~Cola might tell you that putting garlic and onions in your cola formula isn't a good idea but they are not going to tell you what to use in your formula other than the obvious, coca leaves and cola beans. I'm a contented and happy man.
