Re: Silent, powerful PC for music performance and programmin

Aluminium enclosures are more prone to denting and scratching Said that, their thermals are not that great bigger ATX units, as well as big tower heatsinks aren't perfectly suited for portability OK, in that case I'll go for sg05l. Eventually, about where to buy such interfaces in Europe, give a lo...

Re: Silent, powerful PC for music performance and programmin

I am not sure at all (as a matter of language) but maybe this Btw, believe me when I say I am not obsessed with Firewire :) . The reasons why I am trying to build my system for a FW audio interface, are the following: 1. FW allows for wider amount of data transfer than USB 2.0. 2. FW offers less lat...

Re: Silent, powerful PC for music performance and programmin

Roland classifies this as a "Legacy" product - in other words, it's no longer sold I thought of that Roland audio interface because it is sold in a Spanish online music store. Btw, believe me when I say I am not obsessed with Firewire :) . The reasons why I am trying to build my system for a FW aud...

Re: Silent, powerful PC for music performance and programmin

From all your comments I have thought this would be an idea of setup: - Audio interface : Cakewalk FA-66 (firewire, 192KHz/24bit, midi, zero latency and foremost, full linux support from FFADO linux firewire compatibility project) - Case : Silverstone sg05 lite (dimensions are much smaller than the ...

Re: Silent, powerful PC for music performance and programmin

I have to wait for several months for sure before buying the PC, therefore I could purchase one of those motherboards from Asus (I have seen Z97I-Plus doesn't differ too much in price with respect to H97I-Plus so I would probably choose Z971I-Plus).

Hi everyone, I am studying Music Composition and Computer Science. I wanted to buy a custom PC for composing (electroacoustic, algorithmic music), live concerts, programming and robotics. I need it to be portable (SFF), silent (very important, in every component), cool, and powerful. I thought the f...
