so i rekon the card isnt going to be 3500, but getting the card, an interface, the software will be under this amount, so not all bad i'd have thought!?
See this thread: http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/equipment/630053-new-pro-tools-hardware.html
The card is already on most of the stores sites, and it is indeed $3500 for the card alone.
