Hello guys, most of you have probably seen me around here for a while asking for tips about computers and VST's and all that, well, I think I know what to get now smile.gif I'll make 3 lists: One cheaper option, one reasonable option and one more expensive option. Please tell me if there is something you think I should modificate on the lists and what I should choose from each of them before using all this money (About 15000-18000 NOK or 3000-3500 USD) tongue.gif

Ok, most expensive first:

Macbook Pro laptop: 2500 USD/13000 NOK
Mbox Pro Factory Bundle: 800 USD /4080 NOK
Axiom 61 Midi-controller: 550 USD /2800 NOK
EzDrummer: 150 USD /800 NOK
Trilogy bass: 300 USD /1530 NOK
Eastwest Symphonic Gold Pro Bundle 630 USD /3200 NOK
Final costs: 4930 USD/25140 NOK

Cheapest:
Macbook laptop: 1700 USD /8670 NOK
MBox: 450 USD /2300 NOK
Axiom 61 Midi-controller: 550 USD /2800 NOK
Sampletank 2.5 XL Sample Workstation Bundle: 400 USD /2040 NOK
Final costs: 3100 USD/15810 NOK

Reasonable (I guess):
Macbook laptop: 1700 USD /8670 NOK
Mbox Pro Factory Bundle: 800 USD /4080 NOK
Axiom 61 Midi-controller: 550 USD /2800 NOK
EzDrummer: 150 USD /800 NOK
Trilogy bass: 300 USD /1530 NOK
Eastwest Symphonic Gold Pro Bundle: 630 USD /3200 NOK
Final costs: 4130 USD/21060NOK

So... What do you think? smile.gif

The Macbook Pro has a 2,4 GHz processor, 4GB RAM and a 200GB 7200RPM Harddrive.
The Macbook has a 2,4 GHz processor, 4GB RAM and a 160 GB 5400RPM Harddrive.

A few things that I wonder about are for example if the MBox Pro Factory Bundle has Virtual instruments included, because it says at GuitarCenter.com that it includes IK Multimedia SampleTank 2 SE? It's in the ignition pack that follows with the product. Another thing is if I have to check if the Macbook has FireWire ports, or does all macs have that? I need it for the Mbox.
