Immediate plans (ie running adequately soon):

  • * triple boot OS 9, OS X and *nix (NetBSD, Ubuntu or Yellow Dog)
    * Windows via Virtual PC and/or PC Compatibility Card
    * 2 x 160GB Seagates on an ATA RAID card
    * 80GB boot Seagate
    * Matsushita, Phillips or Samsung DVD-R
    * USB floppy drive
    * Flash card reader
    * SCSI card
    * Rage 128 AGP + Rage 128 PCI running:
    * 2 x 21" Dell Trinitron CRTs
    * USB-ADB, Apple Extended KBII, Kensington Turbo Mouse (huge trackball with multiple buttons)
    * Tascam US-428 audio/MIDI interface and control surface
    * MIDI keyboard and knob box
    * 600W per side pro power amp running a pair of semi pro monitoring speakers.
    * Apple Laser Printer and Stylewriter 2500
    * Scanner


Everything above I have on hand bar one more 160GB Seagate. One of the Dells may have issues, in which case I'll whack me old faithful Apple 16" on it for now.

Further plans (ie as time, need and budget allow):

  • * Lots of sound dampening and silent-PC-ification
    * Windows via MiniITX motherboard and VNC
    * Dual head AGP Radeon
    * Third monitor
    * Overclocking
    * Max out the RAM
    * SATA or Firewire RAID
    * Beefier CPU and/or dedicated audio DSP card
    * Case mods (such as front mounting mutiple drives)
    * Enormous concrete subwoofer of doooooooom }:)
