That thread is long... you should take your time with it. Why rush?


I spent weeks and read every single post before I built my first "homemade" PTLE computer two years ago. It´s been running like a charm ever since. My PTLE has been practically on for two years, day and night. I often push it hard, it just works when I do my part.


I am not very computer literate but with the help of that thread I eventually had no problems whatsoever. It just took some time to digest but was definitely worth it. You buy a couple of components and stick them together, then run some CD:s, very easy - and it gives certain confidence when you know what you´re working on after the computer in up and running. In this Windows world I find that quite essential. And yes, I was scared at first,too.


If you can use a screwdriver, you can build a PC. You must know some software stuff anyway and that part is much more demanding because of all the little this` and that´s. But building the hardware itself is easy.

My next PTLE DAW will be an octacore I think. I will read everything again, this is just invaluable info not available anywhere else.


Thanks to all the Big Boys out there for sharing all this knowledge. There´s no one "right" way to do this... it´s like riding a motorbike, sort of. Or changing a light bulb.



EDIT:

The "Best Desktops for PTLE" thread is almost a year old.

That thread is six years old.
