This is Ridiculous!!!!!!!!
Nobody reads anybody elses!!
Why would you waste your time listing your components!

No offense, but next time you all are sitting down to list the parts in your daws, just stop and think wtf am i wasting my time for.

I read quite a few since I just order my new system a couple of days ago. I wish this thread had come up sooner so I could have compared systems and prices here and asked folks how happy they were with there choices.
Instead I looked at the sites of folks custom building Daw computers on line and checked there components for various priced systems and picked what seemed pretty high end and got the local shop to build it for $25 bucks since I bought all the parts from them.
