Finally took the plunge

[PianoPete]

After a year of hemming and hawing I've finally purchased a new Mac. I ordered a refurbished 2.66 Mac Pro today and I'm excited and scared all at the same time!!

Now all I need is a new widescreen monitor, new speaker monitors, ram, hard drives, bluetooth/airport, a better video card, logic pro, mics, preamps, a D/A audio converter, a digital hardware mixer, about a hundred VST's/Audio apps, windows (for games) and might as well throw in a kitchen sink!!

Hope I get one with some extra's. The x1900 or extra ram would be nice surprise

Congrats! It sounds like you have taken the biggest of the steps needed to set up one sweet production platform. Have a great time putting it all together!

Thanks. It will be quite a while before I can get it all but at least I am on my way

Congratulations What are you going to be doing with your Mac Pro? Do you work in a studio?

Thanks. I'm a working musician (keys) and teacher and am slowly putting together a home studio for writing/recording/transcribing/arranging and teaching. Next purchases will be the 24 inch Dell monitor, studio monitors (audio), Logic Express, Synthogy Ivory (a great virtual piano), ram and hard drives. Then I won't really be able to buy anything else until next fall except maybe a cheap A/D converter or audio card to hold me over until I can get a good one.

Was that way too much information?? Sorry I guess i was 'thinking out loud' heh.
