good luck man! i built a dual core 2.6 w/ 4 gig ram 128 mb video- TI instrument firewire card -200gig HD - for $500- newegg and ebay whatever route you go, definitly get a TI firewire card (if u use firewire), it makes all the difference in the world- please understand that micro atx is a form factor for CPU cases and has nothign to do with the touch screen- the best touchscreen company is elo (elotouch.com)- i believe they make a product that you can install over any monitor to convert it to touch, but i bought an open frame model that includes the lcd monitor and the touchscreen off ebay- goodluck fro > Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2009 13:40:07 -0700 > Subject: Re: notebook non-recommendation for audio applications > From: zerocrossing@gmail.com > To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com > > I think I'm about to ditch the laptop as well.
