This is the PC Audio Labs computer I want to get. Currently awaiting financial approval - from my wife!
She got her Apple laptop today, so now I'm jealous. :o( I'm going to try to call PCAL in the next couple of days and see about any set up or configuration I want them to do. They'll install my music software for me if I want them to, up to three hardware and five software - free!

I still want to hopefully get the Dell fixed, so the PCAL can be a music only computer. But since I don't know what's wrong with it (other than it's NOT the CPU!) I don't want to spend half the cost of a new PC replacing components until I hit upon whatever is screwing it up. It could be too many things wrong with it. It may even be simple to fix, the problems is in FINDING what is messed up. I'm tired of dealing with it, and frankly I don't trust any repair place to figure it out. I think they are maybe just guessing. I may try a system restore or something, reinstall Windows, who knows.
Rock On, Groovers!

PCAL
Wow you could rise your own label with that PCAL. Necro Records.
Hopefully
Yeah! That's the PCAL I'm hoping for. I think the part that sells the PCAL for me is the warranty! If I had bought one in the first place, I'd be back to recording by now. Unfortunately I wasn't aware of PCAL when I bought the Dell. Necro Records - By Shadowolf Productions - I actually would like to record a friends band at some point. They're all acoustic though (Irish music). I would also need more microphones and a good room to record in. Have a listen to them: http://www.myspace.com/marcmichaelthemollymaguires my friend sings lead and plays bohdran on "Maid on the Shore" Nice voice. I may have to write something for her to sing! :o)
