one's by HP (the Z600 & Z800 etc series), Lenovo ThinkStaions D-series/s/series, and Dell 5500 series etc, etc. I specifically was looking for not just any PC, but a powerful 'business class' desktop type PC. I bought from a seller in Texas, I live in California. I'd suggest you compare both for pricing and offerings.ĭepending on where you live, you will want to buy from a seller in your country of course, you don't want have to get stuck paying unknown fee's. Thanks for your helpI mentioned eBay sellers, though they do have these types of re-sellers on Amazon too. My idea is running 3 o 4 stances of kontakt not much more.Ĭould you link me to those amazon resellers? It's only that this mini is in da haus conected to cinema station. Though I've always built my own DAW PC's, I just couldn't build myself a PC at this cost, with far less specs.even with all used parts. But there are specs & prices for every budget, starting from about $100 on up to $2,000 generally.
Came with 2 HDD's & Win 7 64 bit installed.
I paid $600 for a 12 core 3.06 GHz/48 GB DDR3 ram PC that originally cost nearly $4K when new. I bought my last PC that I use for my DAW this way. If it's the small size only, you can find a much more powerful mini PC than this any day of the week.Īs an option, you can buy a used/refurbished/reconditioned PC on eBay from professional sellers that are low in cost & high in resources.
Is it the small size, or the low price you're after? If both, possibly consider a compromise between power/resources, and size of the PC. I bet my old quad core/4 GB ram Win XP DAW can run circles around this. I'm sure you could do much better to run what you have in mind. was just running Cubase itself with the stock drum VST within Cubase, nothing else. I could barely even run Cubase Elememnts 8 trial on my note book (a Toshiba, single core ATOM CPU 1 Ghz, 2 GB DDR 3 ram. With a max memory of 2 GB I wouldn't hold my breath.
