and definately a good and over-rated PSU. The psu thing was the one I concentrated very much on and settled down to a quality brand I can't quite remember right now. |

On the OS front... I have a spare XP license laying around. I understand there are a few businesses that will 'optimize' Windows for audio use |

You're probably overthinking this one. A mastering machine is only playing back a couple of tracks at a time and doing a few edits. An album of mastering edits could fit into a few bars of a multitrack rock record. A Dell will be fine if you don't want to mess with building your own machine. I will second the vote for Samplitude. The ability to have separate insert chains for individual audio snips makes mastering ridiculously easy, and you can burn from within the project window. |

Dell makes good, solid units and their customer service is amazing. |

I'm at the flip side on Dell- I recently was setting up a client's system with a couple of Dells and had excellent customer service. As for the toy appearance of windows- just change it. As for the windows organizing audio files- just tell it not to and to not ask again when you pop in a cd. |

I'm going with a Carillion next time. |

I'm curious, what does Carillion do to access/address audio files that you can't? |
