OK, so here goes.
For a small-potatos setup (recording demos and original music for Flash animation): A mini Mac with 1GB RAM Digidesign MBox in one of the USB ports Glyph drive in the firewire OS + production software in the internal HD Recording tracks onto the Glyph Good? Bad? Indifferent? Cheap minds want to know! Many thanks, --IW |

Until you add some stuff...the base model plus 1GB RAM puts it up to $738, plus keyboard & mouse if you don't have one (which I don't), plus the bluetooth module...so it's $800+.
Still, that's cheaper than the eMac, and MUCH smaller...form factor is a consideration, for sure. |
