Desktop for home production

My friend is setting up a home studio for production with Ableton in his house. His budget is about €1000 for a desktop including two monitors.
Any recommendations for a desktop pc which would be best optimized for Ableton at that price?
Speak to Paul Moss at scan.co.uk - they deliver to Ireland, will spec it for music production and exact needs.
I've had a couple of machines from there and the build quality is second to none and if you get problems they collect parts/computer at no cost to yourself and fix it quick (or send replacements)
Really nice service.0 -

I just costed up an evil pc running at 55ghtz and 48gig of memory - a snip at 7400 quid
55ghtz!

Are you serious?
That sounds like the machines that can get built for scientific research.
The downside is windows may not really be able to handle all that power - you may only get a little bit more than you'd get with a fully loaded standard PC.
Then there's bottle necks and stuff to think of.
I'd love it, if someone like Roland took a laptop PC or desktop and created a dedicated Music operating system.
It's not so much how much power the machine has at it's disposal - it's really down to how it's utilised.
Lots of purpose built digital electronic equipment made more than ten years ago - with clock times in around 1 Mega Hertz - which makes them a thousand times slower than the cheapest laptop - in some ways, can still kick the sh1t out of any daw. Unfortunately, the stuff lacks a lot of what a DAW can do - but the those guys were able to create processor heavy stuff to run on really slow chips.
Roland are thinking of making a new groove box/DAW - they may not. But based on chips now and what they could potentially do, it could be real killer.0 -

Nah, dedicated music pc this is - the mobo and cpus designed to work with these speeds and DAWS can addressed multiple cores no problem

I would be very happy, if I had an ancient PC, running an ancient DAW that could handle SYSEX - so I could jam with my MC 505 and make tracks that way.
There's plenty I'd like to do with my laptop - but can't because of it's restrictions. But I'm learning a huge amount by working against it's limitations.
Eventually I'll get the setup I want - but for the minute, I don't have what I want.0 -

Yeah that's the grind - and when you get a beast you end up using it to the max until Ableton freaks out, it's good to learn how to get a big sound with limited facilities 0 -
