[Imc-tech] new computer (pieces)

[Paul Riismandel]

Is this the new audio workstation?

Did we order the Soundblaster card specifically, or is it part of a 
package?  If it's for audio editing I would spec something different--the 
soundblasters are OK, but you can get much better for just a little more $ 
outside the consumer mainstream.  Otherwise the rest looks pretty good. For 
a case I would try Champaign Computer, they have a good variety at decent 
prices.  You can get a good tower for less than $99.
