I have several avenues to pursue. I can have one built in town, I can go with another Dell. The XPS 8900 is what I was checking out. Then there is my first choice with the pro studio at studio cat but I had problems with paypal

I Am destined to poverty  either way I go

It's almost time to update my PC too...
 

 
(At least it's easy to reboot, just shake it over your head!)

I wonder if that's what I was doing wroing wrong?
 
 
 
 
 
I Am ok as long as I don't let the computer turn off,sleep, hibernate, or screen savor.

Build it yourself?

Thanks Reece!  The main feature is the price. I will keep looking

I recently bought Steinberg's UR-22 MKII which was a bit cheaper than the equivalent Focusrite product.
Very pleased with it, great sound, no problems so far, very solid build.

+1 on building your own PC
 
1) You have compete control of what goes in your machine
2) You get to select better suited hardware for DAW's than the generic off the shelf
3) You get plenty of knowledgeable people in here to help (if needed)
4) You get the satisfaction that this your "baby" :)
 
If I can build one, ANYONE can!!
 
This is a great place to get parts and IIRC, they also show if parts are compatible: https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/

I've heard good things about the UR-22, but I've never used one.

I didn't build my DAW but I've built 2 other general purpose desktop pc's - one of them has never let me down since the day I powered it up, and I believe the other one (a gift) is still running faithfully.

Thanks Collin! I'm getting a lot of info. I'm going to take my time. I sure like Purrrect Audio's Pro Studio.
 
Mesh - How much difference in price than you buying one? How much did you save?
