Looks interesting

 

[Russtopher]

I was JUST going to post this!

Definitely an interesting concept... wonder how it'll sound

 

[shred101]

If it works it works... my first impression: Fucking stupid idea.
Heard of POD/POD FARM/REAPER/SIMS/ETC??
Also, isnt it a bit of a stupid idea to put HD's next to speaker magnets? Also, also, isnt it a stupid idea to put a big sheet of spinning magnetic material and wi-fi antennas and stuff next to your guitar in jack? Also, also, also is it me or can anyone else hear the hiss thats as loud as the guitar signal? I love the way they spend more time talking about how great it is for gaming on rather than how awesome it is for recording.

I don't like it.

Seems like two things that just shouldn't be combined...

They could always use SSD hard drives instead of common magnetic ones

"Dedicated graphics for gaming"

I can't take this seriously. If its intended use is for recording guitar/playing guitar than why make it a gaming PC? I would rather get a good amp and a good PC.

I think it would have been better for them if they invested the money to make a dedicated interface like the Axe-FX.

Also i bet you can't just put a new motherboard/cpu/etc. in for upgrading.

But it is an awesome idea for a case mod.

 

[Wolfeman]

I think it's goal is to be a vanity piece. Just something for people with too much extra money to buy.

Good lord, sometimes capitalism really is retarded

I could be wrong but that sounded like a combination of what the camera was picking up and what the mic was picking up.

The last thing we need is a "mac vs pc vs orange" thread

Apples and Oranges?

When I buy an amp I want it for life. When I buy a PC I want it for about a year.

this may or may not be related but

the world needs to accept the fact that 3 - 5 ms is not acceptable for latency range
im talking 1 ms MAX is acceptable, ESPECIALLY for hardware units

 

[GarethSE]

i think for those of us on a budget 3-5ms is just fine

 

[Yhanthlei]

5 ms is 1.5m through air ;-)

That Orange AmPc thingemagog seems pretty retarded

 

[Loki Laufeyiarson]

Is this some very late april fools?

 

[hoehlentroll]

they rather should work on a stable rack pc, for running vst in a live situation
