Thumbs up My first real computer purchase.
Sign in to disble this ad
I finally bought a new computer and I'm super excited. It arrived today and I'll get the chance to hook it all up tomorrow. I've been making due with mediocre outdated computers since I can remember. After my last one blew up I was really broke and couldn't afford anything good so I've been using a small compaq with an embarrassing 18Gig harddrive and 512mb of ram. Needless to say, I couldn't really get any recording done the past few years. Or essentially any work at all.

This is the one I ordered.



I have an M-audio Delta 1010LT to pop into the extra PCI slot and should be laughin' by tomorrow night.

Windows 7. Apparently it was my idea. We'll see how much I like it. I hope it and Ableton get along well.

I grew to prefer newegg.ca, but I never encountered a problem with TigerDirect, despite buying there a dozen times.
