Ive built many PC's and tried using one for making music back inthe days of Cakewalk 1.0. After MUCH frustration I gave it up due to not being able to do what I wanted to do.. Now, with better computers, ASIO, and USB things are better.. Ive recently migrated back to the computer.

My current computer works great but is not portable.. www.firebase.org/4c.htm

Looking for suggestions for Micro-ATX mobo and case. Anyone know of any good reviews? I basically need a fast computer that I can easily move. None of this full tower crap. Need Micro tower (mini-tower) thats small yet big enough to hold a great sound card.

Thanks.

Recently seen one of those microATX thingies with a bundled nForce2 mobo which should allow for plenty of system lurve... Its got ONE PCI slot which will hold yer DSP24, or Audiophile or whatever

Yeah I'd second that, if it's portability you're after. Very fast and tidy. Just don't go looking to upgrade it!

All I've heard, is that its a FAST mobo platform with dual channel DDR support...

Check out Tom's Hardware for a good article on mobos past and present for AMD platforms
