i love mac os x. with that said, i recently switched from mac to windows. i have used mac towers for the last 17 years; however, i made the decision to build a windows machine because mac os x was the only reason i wanted a mac tower. i agree with what a few others have said: if you want a tower, bu...

i don't have a firewire port only because my local micro center happened to be out of stock. i intended to get one the day i bought all the components. i will be back up there in this week to check their stock. but thank you for your reply. i figured that is what i needed to do, but i am glad to kno...

i have no studio setup worth showing. my dog, however, is much cooler than your cat!
