Not looking at buying one right now, just looking at how cheap everything is.

It's quite easy to get a 4GHz quad core processor with 16GB of RAM, SSD and 2 graphics cards for under £1000 which was not an easy thing to do back in 2009.

Interesting.

However, my system does everything I need it to do - multi-box up to 4 EQ2 sessions

Update: OK, even my laptop can handle 2.

well how about a good cheap graphics card? seen any 5770's with 1GB for under £50 xD
