multiple machne setup

[ellle]

If multiple slower machines (just enough to get 160 or so voices) are better then fewer faster machines...then

Has anybody been looking at setting up an \'el cheapo\', minimal spec rack of PC-modules?

[pmuse]

Hello ellle,

Yep, absolutely. I built a couple of PCs with these components:

Amptron motherboard w/SIS 830 chipset (~$85)
*built-in LAN/Sound/AGP 3D video
AMD Duron 1.2 Ghz cpu (~$50)
512 MB Mushkin 133 SDRAM (~$100)
40 GB Maxtor hard drive
80 GB Western Digital 8MB cache hard drive
AudioPhile 2496 sound card
Win98SE

They rock and they roll. Using MIDI Replicator over the LAN I don\'t need to buy any hardware MIDI interfaces either.

With all respect..I was hoping to get more responses on the multiple \'el cheapo\' machine setup (rack or not) issue before we derail into software...

Lee, you\'re right, but the new vesrion (called Midi Over Lan) does 16 \'pipes\' instead of 8.
