Well, the recording computer again.

Go read the first page of the "Best PC" thread. That system kicks butt over the G5 at a lot less money and has no compatibilty issues. If you go to HD in the future, you will probably want to change out the mobo and cpu for the P4/intel board but I would go AMD for PT LE.

I love MSI boards. I now have them in every computer that I am responcible for, and thats around 15 machines. I use MSI boards because, unlike Gigabyte, Asus, and Soyo, MSI boards have never crapped out on me in the last 3 years. I hate replacing motherboards so I now use MSI exclusively.

Nothing against MSI mobo's. Just remember that ProTools is very finicky about what it plays nice with. Check the thread on "Best Desktops" as Allen keeps the first page updated and just added the DFI Lanparty mobo.

My MSI-K8T Nero-2 works like a champ now that I have a 002r that works.
