In this episode, I'll be selecting parts for and building a computer whose intended purpose is recording audio in a home studio. I'm building this for a friend who has been a career musician and is now settling down and wants to start recording at home. I'll go over the parts that I selected and why, we'll watch a time lapse of the build process, and I'll do a little testing once it's all up and running.

Nice one YHRS, I'm still amazed that lights in the box is a fetish catered to so readily. I'm sure your friend will enjoy the RIIIIIIIIIIIIDE.

Thanks Ray :) I was pretty anti-RGB for a long time. But now I've come to terms with it as a neat way to decorate a computer and be able to frequently change my mind on the colors. And hey, one of the colors is OFF! So that's an option too 😁

Power supply is most important part of any build.

While it's not great having a power supply fail, what's worst is one that's flaky where it impacts one or all the components in the computer. That's a very difficult issue to track down, especially if you don't have another power supply to test, not to mention the fact that it could fry anything in the computer (or worse yet, make a component no longer be stable -- temporarily or for the rest of it's life). Bottom line and along what you said, you should never skimp out on the power supply.

This is so off topic, but are those the Mid atlantic side racks ? I am looking for a sister to my 1 rack. I see a Mid Atlantic rack online that is almost like mine but seemingly a newer version. Its the Middle Atlantic MDV-R12.That one that has a more square top when mine is more extended out at one end. I just wanted to know were you got yours and if yours are the same model i have. I bought mine off craigslist and cant seem to find quite the same model. Sorry for the mouthful. I hope you are well and great video.

Good eye, my sidecars are indeed the Middle Atlantic MDV-R12. I had to go back and check my Sweetwater invoice from 2014 to make sure, but yes that's the same model. As far as I can tell, the one that Sweetwater currently has pictured on their site is just like mine, where the top has a couple of inches of overhang on the front and maybe an inch of overhang on the sides. But my goodness, the price has almost doubled since I bought mine. Yikes!

@@YHRS Yeah I know it is super depressing especially in these trying times. That is exactly why they are more expensive too as well though.
