If you're going to the the trouble of ripping lps, you shouldn't even be in the same room.

Per a previous thread I'm considering a new [ motherboard | computer ]
Turns out the ASUS A8V-VM was old when I bought it :-(
Basic workstation requirements:
- used all day every day for work - runs 24x7
- runs with multiple web and database servers (local only)
- Virtual Box running - used for experiments. Could be a growing demand.
- Ubuntu 12.04 or similar
- I'm figuring on 8, 12, or even 16 MB of RAM
- Maybe a 32 to 64 MB SSD for the OS & related files
In addition:
I need to handle background audio processing
(I have 400+ un-recorded LP records I need to process in the backround.)
Occasional video editing/burning
Should be quiet. I'm willing to consider cost-effective liquid cooling
I'm going to put 3 or 4 SATA drives in there at some point
I expect (hope) to re-use my existing Antec tower case and 650W power supply.
Okay, that's a rough outline. Here are some specifics:
16 GB of RAM
Intel processor - multiple cores
(Should I get an i5 or hold out for an i7?
what is the cost/benefit ratio for the i5/i7 delta?)
I'm using a NVIDIA video board - will stay the same, or upgrade to another NVIDIA or ATI card
Any good audio card recommendation? I'm considering 4+ channels for future audio work.
Any other suggestions/recommendations?
Thanks
Eric
