Hi everyone , been away for a few weeks . I finally finished building my new AMD computer
that now has the power and speed to run Sonar X2 when I get around to buying that software DAW sometime before the summer of next year maybe sooner then that I hope .
 
Yea I have been over a period of two years buying parts for this new PC I'm on now for two years buying what I needed as I could afford them from NewEgg.com and then storing them in my closet .
I finished building two PCs this friday night , one for my wife and one for myself . Both PC's are the same AMD motherboards and processors with seven big cooling fans installed in each computer build .
I ran mine yesterday for 12 hrs while installing software and setting up software and at the end of the night there was zero heat in my case , great for working on my music for long hours on end so I'm really happy with this PC build plus this PC is 5 times faster then my other old PC I built five years ago .
I'll be able to record as many tracks as I want without having to freeze each and every track as I record .
 
Anyway hopefully I can start recording again next week-end , I'll spend a few days letting it run and do things online to make sure theres no running issues before I spend hours reinstalling all my music software and other software I install for flightsimming and making flightsim videos for youtube .
 
Thats my great news  , I guess I better check the song section out to catch up with whats going on there and leave a comment or two .
 
See Yea soon with a new song !

Wow ! Isn't that a little overkill ? Won't it add to noise output ?

Cheers,

Hi Jerry , yes both are AMD Motherboards & Processors . My old intel PC with two fans made more noise then these , they are not as noisy as you might think .
I can run these all day long and not have to worry about my motherboard and processor over heating in the summer , that was one reason I decided to choose a new case that would hold seven big fans .
Took us about eight hours to build two of them , I took my time and made sure everything inside was screwed down tight and wired perfectly to get good air flow inside .
Didn't have any issues once they were completely built , they both fired up and ran great the first time .
The next day we installed Windows XP Pro on both PC's , seems to be running great now and its much faster then the old PC I was running online .
Can't wait to start recording using this rig , hopefully no more freezing tracks .

          Thanks been wanting to build these for almost two years , right now I'm a happy
          camper ready to start recording next week-end with some speed and power . I
          feel like I just traded in my old VW bug for a new Dodge Charger ! Power under
          the hood next to the my old pc .

We had to run down to our local computer store and ask for
some extra cables to wire them in and the owner said the
same thing SEVEN FANS !
I just laughed and said yea this baby is the alaskan PC , its
going to run cold all the time . LOL
