$700 computer suggestions for tracking w/MOTU 828mkII ?

Post by AnalogousGumdropDecoder » Fri Nov 11, 2016 7:15 pm

I've got about $700 to spend on a computer for recording, what should I get?

I already have a MOTU 828mkII interface, but nothing seems to have a FireWire port anymore. I've heard mixed stories about whether I can adapt this interface to Thunderbolt and make it work with a Mac Mini. Any input/suggestions?

Howling at the neighbors. Hoping they have more mic cables.

Can find used Mac Pros (and others) all day long on Craigslist or eBay...I'm pretty sure I have one my of Mac Pros listed in the BST section here too...
