Well, personally I've always thought that Scott and Jim should have to leg wrestle and the loser has to build CJ a new computer, gratis.  Tho they might prefer Rubiks Cubes at 100 paces.  But here's the twist.  No matter how powerful a box they build him...it's got to have a Soundblaster card.

LOL...i'll buy tix to that...

anyone can buy all the parts - but the years of experience testing and troubleshooting hw &sw compatibility is priceless.
 
a no brainer, indeed.

You said a mouthful there. That is the reason that my last two music PC were either built by Jim, (an overclocked 350cely!!) that lasted for years and the one I have now (that he told me on this forum what parts to get). Both PC did and is doing a very good job. Along with my own know how, I am still using 4yr old parts with an OS that's over.... how old is XP now? LOL This speaks volumes about Jim's knowledge.

 I have gotten his IR for Reverb that are just fantastic. And though I have never heard them, I hear that his Perrrfect Drums samples are some of the best in the world!! Jim is an honest to goodness Straight Up Guy!! And the type of clients Jim deals with, very successful music business people, and he still is humble enough to deal with the likes of small time music recording hobbyist like me, then what can I say that hasn't already been said!!

Except: Thank you Jim.

Well I hope you guys are going to alow me a post about Scott at http://www.adkproaudio.com/  .

I got the one in my sig for over a year now( another one on it's way :-) and never ran in any trouble at all :-)

With all due respect, that's a bit of a smack there isn't it? I'd say go and make your own thread praising Scott...this one is thanks to Jim, ya know? How would ya like it if someone created a thread thanking you and praising you for your work, and some guy pops in and brings up another guy that is your competition in that same thread? I sure wouldn't like it. So yeah, not that it matters any, but I kinda mind because I just don't think this is the thread for it. I know you meant no disrespect, but to me, it's just principal.

Thanks to all of you guys, I'm considering maybe buying a computer from Jim. :D

I too want to offer my thanks to Jim. I have always built my own PC's but never had a Dedicated DAW.

Also being in Australia I didn't have Access to Jim's build expertise so for what I would call a very nominal fee jim gave me a list of parts and links where I could get them and so I went shopping for my new i7 machine. that was a good while ago now and I'm still a very happy camper.

Interestingly I had one snafu with choosing a cooler that ended up not fitting my chosen case that was Jim's fault. Without any arguing he immediately made me a very acceptable offer for squaring things up. It really wasn't a big deal as I was able to resell the part anyway.

Apart from his excellent service and knowledge, Jim rates a 10/10 for the way he handles the unexpected problems that are a part of doing business. Things like that make you a customer for life.

A thoroughly deserved recommendation.

Done :-)

If it weren't for you, man - I wouldn't have even known about Jim as a DAW builder - per se, other than his many helpful posts here.
...but that's because I'm not usually here at the forum - unless I'm doing a new build, which I've mostly done myself before this one : )
 
And now, I'm creating some killer music beds for a really big project, running a ton of VST plugs and effects - the graphics are slamming. Kontakt 4.1 is slamming. Symphobia 1.2 is slamming. Komplete 7 is slamming - so far, using Absynth 5, Massive, Guitar Rig 4 - KILLER! Kore, Traktor 12, Reflektor, etc. Lots of great sw.
 
Graphics are seamless. Libraries loading superfast - thanks to the K4.1 background loading. Loving T-Racks Brickwall Limiter - bye, bye Waves - it was nice knowing you.
 
Got my mix bus with 12 stems fielding 12 folders of instrument categories. Lovin' it! Digging the CW Channel Tools stereo imaging, as well. Lexicon Pantheon verb is awesome.
 
...DimPro, Rapture, Battery and Reaktor are crashing, but I'm not going to worry about it for now.
 
I can WORK, and work QUICKLY. I'm one happy dude.
 
MACHINE IS SLAMMING!
 
JIM ROCKS!
 
He went way above and beyond the call of duty with support for me!
 
You just never find people like this.
 
So, thanks again, Mudgel.
