Live DAW All-In-One i7 2600K

[kryz]

Thanks, that's very helpful! I can hardly wait to get this running. I hope my 350W psu will be sufficient but the guy in the shop said I should be fine. Everybody else with an i7 2600K seems to be getting 750W or more... But I really like the SFX form factor and weight.

just letting you know you're not alone! I'm running the same board as you for my Pro Tools rig and everything is working well.

Let me know if you have any questions..

Graphics card?

 

[kryz]

Nope, HD3000. I'll see how much can be done with that, hopefully it's enough for my needs.

But the board doesn't have built in graphics.....

The GA-Z68XP-UD5, which I believe he is using, does have built in graphics...

Which case are you going with? It's an important consideration if you're doing music. You want the whole thing to be as quiet as possible....

I got a little nervous about the graphics for a second
I plan to build my own case as an all-in-one design, kind of a bulkier iMac with touch screen.
Ihope that will work out well...

Don't get completely confident yet...
I'm using a graphics card in my build and have yet to try using the built in graphics.....
I'm sure you'll get it too work.

Out of curiosity, where does the performance of a machine like this rank compared to a MacPro? Like benchmark range?

Okay, I'm incompletely semi-confident atm. But I think it should work out all right.
