Quick note: I am not planning on executing this plan any time soon, this is just something for reference
Ok, so I have been in the whole audio nerd thing for about 4 years now and I have a good computer as it is, but in the coming years, I want to build the best possible workstation for just audio that I can. Let's put an arbitrary price cap at about $3000. That is the maximum amount of cash I'd be willing to spend.
What I am looking for is:
Windows operating system (obviously)
As much power as possible to have incredibly short latency without under runs. (mostly CPU based)
Lots and lots of connectivity, possibly including thunderbolt and firewire
Plenty of fast storage
Good looks
and above all, silent
The reason I am really ambiguous with these parameters is that I want to see what you guys come up with. I am more than capable of doing some leg-work and looking it all up (I already have), but I want to see what other people think. Let's say this is a creativity project.
Big thanks to anybody who contributes.
