WTF is going on in this thread? I am so lost, are we talking about getting a new DAW like the title? or building a new comp like the thread?

Building a new comp facilitating my switch from logic to cubase...

 

[jpsmithrocks]

Subtotal: $349.98

???

The first subtotal is 1800 and the second is 349 it has to do with new egg shipping everything but the case and monitor in one batch and the case and monitor in the second batch (349.98) so the subtotal for the case and monitor before shipping and taxes is 349:98... make sense... ???

The grand subtotal is 2205 and change I think with taxes + shiping rounding it to 2478 and change if I'm not mistaken

plus a motherfucking one.
I actually thought you were going to program a new DAW haha
but instead you're just going for a studio comp.
I have to say, cakewalk studio comps are pretty cheap and do the trick, really worth the check (but you'll have to look pretty good cuz it took me a while to find them on their site)

thanks but no thanks... they dont sell their own computer they just act as a third party vendor other companies... plus I think it's fun building your own computer... builds character and allows you to see what all goes inside while learning how take the pacifier out of your mouth...

I've already looked at all these vendors and for what they're charging you to build the above comp you can probably build a comp like joey's with parts from New Egg... but again thanks...
