Re: Allenstein OctaPC(8-core) and Quadzilla(4-core)

Shane (and many other people) went AMD because it was the best solution at the time, not because he is a "fan boy." Many of us here who have helped get these rigs tested and running have done it to...

Re: Allenstein OctaPC(8-core) and Quadzilla(4-core)

And doesn't Reaper have a "Pro Tools" skin as well?

I'm probably going to be building something new soon so I can have more seamless transportability between the studio and my home setup (as it...

Re: Back with problems

Check the boot order in your BIOS. For some reason, the BIOS in the Tyan Quad likes to totally mess with your boot sequence whenever a drive is added or removed. Make sure the system drive is the...

Re: Allenstein OctaPC(8-core) and Quadzilla(4-core) *07-21-0

I'm not sure about the 2000 processors. I have the dual 265 Quadzilla, and I'm waiting on the Quad-Core processors, and even then, probably waiting for their first price drop. The Quadzilla is more...

Re: Allenstein OctaPC(8-core) and Quadzilla(4-core) *07-21-0

Installing other software should be fine, but you have to watch out for background processes. If you can, disable any "auto-start" or "auto-run" features in the software, and make sure there's...

Re: Allenstein OctaPC(8-core) and Quadzilla(4-core) *07-07-1

Yeah, hover the mouse over the meters, hold down CTRL-WINDOWS KEY-ALT and left click, and the meters will double in size. Just a neat little trick to go along with the colored faders.

Re: Allenstein OctaPC(8-core) and Quadzilla(4-core) *07-07-1

Yeah, I'll be building a new Octazilla when the processors take their first price dip. It will replace my Quadzilla in my studio, which is great, because then I can move my Quadzilla to my production...

Re: Allenstein OctaPC and Quadzilla Machine *update*

Wow, $500? That's, like, $500 an hour! What a racket! I've worked as a computer tech for years, and that price just boggles my mind. You think I'd be recording bands for a living if I could still be...

Re: Allenstein OctaPC and Quadzilla Machine *update*

Re-check the original post in regards to fans and cooling, I posted some stuff that's linked there.

Craziness about the lightning! Glad the Quad survived!

Hey, Improv! Welcome to Quadsville!

If you're interested in cooling specs (especially if you need the system to be quiet,) there's a link in the first thread with part #s and whatnot.

Re: Allenstein OctaPC and Quadzilla Machine *update*

Re: Third SATA drive...

When setting the system up a year ago, I didn't notice a difference between my IDE 7200 drive and my Raptor for system. However,...

Re: Third SATA drive...

Indeed. When adding the third drive, it boots the first drive out of sequence.

However, the problem still persisted. It was only solved when I added BOTH Raptor drives to the boot order, not just...

Third SATA drive...

Well, it's been over a year since I built my Quad, and it's time for a re-format.

I'm adding a 500GB SATA drive for sample storage. Using a Raptor for system and a Raptor for audio.

Re: Allenstein OctaPC and Quadzilla Machine *update*

Well, you could build a Quad and get a Magma Chassis for cheaper than a Mac Pro.

Re: Allenstein OctaPC and Quadzilla Machine *update*

The UAD-1 will work with the Quad, but only if you use it in a Magma Chassis.
