a death in my silicon family..

[deeplfo]

Same here, been using Dell desktops for my main music machine for years now, but have been getting new ones every few years :-).

For music I wouldn't go crazy and get the "gaming" boxes, but I would suggest to pick the higher up in the models with the better performing components.

Nothing wrong with Dell. I've got a Core i7 860 at work and it's a snappy and practically silent machine. Styling, well, let's not go there, but plenty of USB on the front, card reader, the lot.

Obviously, I build my machines by hand and never have a problem (except that it takes time and that it's a bugger). But then I make sure I only get quality components, like Supermicro for the mainboard. There's a mostly silent cooler the size of Staten Island on the CPU, and the case is a very nice minimalist design (Fractal Design, quite inexpensive too).
