Re: [expert] building box for sound recording studio

I'm not entirely sure but this might be the sort or thing a MOSIX 
cluster would be good for.

I wouldn't spend it all on scsi, just get a few large ide drives and
use them for storage while doing the work on scsi ( maybe raid5 ).
Don't waste money of xeon. If you're going to use applications optimized
for sse2 then get pentium4. If not, then get dual athlon mp.
Get at least 2gb of ram, the faster the better.  I always use athlons,
because they work 3 times faster with floating point, but you may not need
that.

just got a very nice deal to build a box (in the next couple of months,
quality is much more important than fast delivery) to run a sound 
recording studio. I would love to hear suggestions. Budget is to be less
than $10,000.00 USD delivered, not including (professional) software. or
sound card (will have an Audigy, but the studio owner has some other card
he wants in the box along with the Audigy, and that card was over
$900.00USD. I figure for about that I ought to be able to create a pretty
nice and fast box. this box should be UFW scsi2 raid I guess, and I would
love some first hand knowledge of fast-wide scsi2 cards and drives. I am
also wondering about places I should be looking to check out some quad
zeon mother boards.

thanks this is exactly the kinda discussion I was hoping for. got any good 
clues as to what chipsets to look for, or stay away from? I think (pretty 
damn sure) they want a SMP board of some sort.
