Really? What spec and how many simultaneous tracks? Bear in mind that a C3 of a given clock speed
benchmarks well below a Pentium
III of the same clock speed. You can fit an ATA-100 disk and plenty of RAM
though.
IIRC the C3 is clocked at 800MHz? And it supports DDR ram. I wasn;t
planning to use for for recording, jsut processing.
I'd like to build a C3 machine for the studio
I've just started renting on the
Isle of Wight. I am concerned that it won't be able to multitrack audio as
much as a P3 or P4 though.
Heh, I fear the IoW.
As for power supply transplants, I'm sure it could
be done - you could even
put the rackmount PSU in the Procase to avoid wasting it...
I'm not sure there the same shape, the 1U supply is long and thin.
