I'm thinking about adding a PC slave to my studio to host Appassionata I&II, the Special Edition and a few other download instruments. Currently I use everything on a Macpro but I'm running up against some polyphony issues and I like the idea of separating all of my VSL libs onto another machine. The last time that I really worked with a PC was a Giga slave that I had a while back thats now obsolete so I can't say I'm really in the loop when it comes to Windows machines.
Right now my template loads about 60 instruments over 3 VE2 instances with around 6 GB of RAM total. Before I go through all the tedious research I'd like to know what sort of price I'd be looking at to build a slave that could handle all of that. Anyone have a ballpark figure?
