| 29-04-08 / 23:32 : MacPro for audio : cheaper than Rain (cjed) | Rain Recording provides PCs targeted for audio : metal case and silent, many hard drives, many USB and Firewire ports, many PCI Express slots (16x and 1x) and also standard PCI slots. So they look like the MacPro.
However at 2750$ the quad core Penryn 2,66GHz with 4Gb ram and 2X 500Gb hard drives, the Rain Quad Core Digital Audio Workstation aren't interesting compared with the MacPro : 2550$ for a quad core MacPro (faster, 2,8Ghz, and more powerful thanks to its Xeon processors) fitted with two 500Gb hard disks (and Radeon HD2600XT, Radeon HD3650 on the Rain). | | | Comments | Finally the MacPro is bundled with only 2Gb base ram, and additional 2Gb is sold 500$ by Apple, but we can find the same 2Gb ram (same specs) at only 120$ (98 euros) at Thomann. So it makes the MacPro 2650$, still cheaper than the Rain.
