Live Performance Workstation
WindowsXP and Linux Workstation for Playing Live Music
This system generates all of the sounds -- it IS the synthesizer (multiple synthesizers, really), while the actually playing is still done on real keyboards (like my Kurz, Korg, Yamaha, etc).
Specs:
AMD Athlon64 4000 San Diego Core
2GB Dual-Channel DDR400 RAM
Dual 80GB Seagate Barracuda SATA2 Drives in RAID1, ultra-quiet and shock-tolerant
3U Rackmount Case, shallow depth (to fit in my SKB case)
350W Power Supply
17" flat panel display
Small laptop-like keyboard with touchpad mouse
