You can start with the most economical mini and upgrade individual components separately without choosing to upgrade via their cookie cutter options. I chose the bottom rung mini and maxed the ram, iirc. Its been the only computer I've used at home for the past several months and its handled everything fine.

currently: earlier:

I've enjoyed using a self healing hard drive combo in place of one drive for my music. When I used to use a single drive, I would occasionally have problems retrieving/accessing a song here and there. Sometimes I could access them later, sometimes not. If you have the money for it (and I suspect that you do) I'd recommend a drobo or raid1 array as your music drive(s). Thats probably the biggest improvement I've made regarding the computer side of this hobby since I started.

monthly subscription to backblaze. I decided to give it a shot since I have fios now. Was pleased to see they do in fact have the folder system set up online, which someone said back in September they didnt have. Its been a wet dream of mine to have my Drobo backed up offsite, online, but it seemed impossible to upload all of it. Not anymore though, I think I'm closing in on 100GB being uploaded of my primary/initial backup that I started late last night (!) Given my last fios bill, I think I'll let them start earning that money a bit more

The Mary Onettes - Islands Loving this so far...lots of 80's elements kinda like the first Killers album before they turned crappy. Except less synthesizer 80s, more Tears for Fears/Cure 80s. I have no idea how I'm only now finding out about them.

First four discs. Individually this time, too many damned subscriptions going on to keep track of.
