If you already have the sound solution, £500-600 will get you quite a bit of PC especially you can recycle the ancilliary bits like CDRom, Keyboard, Floppydisk, mouse etc..

I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!

Just gotta remember to get a minumum 300W PSU, decent (quiet) cpu cooling, LONG ATA100/133 cables (if you're having two harddisks - system/audio etc) and RAM..

And that's not even including the "pro audio" PCs that you can get from places like Millenium or Digital Village etc... I'm sure these machines work fine but they're SERIOUSLY overpriced compared to an own built machine and provided you do spend the time to do a little research and ask questions, you can save a LOT of money... its just a toss up as to what's more valuable to you? The saving of dosh, or the saving of time in not having to learn about your machine? Me? I'd go for the saving of dosh coz even with a pre-built "pro audio" machine, you're asking for headaches if you don't at least get to understand your workstation a bit..
