I like the idea but weather or not it would be a good idea to own one is another story. Anyone have any thoughts on these things?


I think if I where starting from scratch all over again I might do it but not at this point.

I was looking at that too when I was looking for a 24/96 solution... There's footage somewhere of a guy doing a livePA on one of those and setting it on fire at the end of his set..... I can't remember the details but it looked cool.

Haven't actually seen or come across any review other then that footage.

cool.... now if only the faders were motorized, and the entire thing had Toughbook-like weather/shock-proofing

what on earth would you do with a toughbook version of one of these?

I mean just outta curiousity..

i met a guy in nyc who rocked his PA out of one of these bad boys and he totally regretted the purchase. as soon as the cpu goes out of date you're up fucked river.

also: pc only

Do they not use ATX motherboards? I have not read up on it but it would seem strange that a computer based product starting at $6000 wound have no upgrade path.
