Hello all,
I'm looking for a high performance (e.g. quad core)
machine to be used for audio processing (and running
Linux of course). Rack mount is preferred but not
essential.
What would you recommend to look at ?
if noise is not a problem, no problem. if it is, check the silent boxes
from thomas-krenn.com (not silent at all, but only obnoxious, not
earth-shattering). they are stand-alone towers, but rack-mount kits are
available.
if heat is a problem (and i think it always is), pay special attention
to which cpu core you are getting - generally, the smaller the process,
the better, but they don't always tell you. don't use the fastest one
you can get (bad price/performace and also probably on the edge of its
thermal design power).
best,
jörn
