    Hello Everyone,

    I am in the market to replace my two aging laptops that host VEP Pro 7 (Both older i7's with only 16GB of RAM, and daisy chained SSD Drives). My Main DAW pc is fine for hosting my other libraries (Spitfire and Kontact stuff) but I dare not load it up too much more.

    I am thinking about grabbing a HP Proliant Gen 8 -10, Xeon proc, min. 64GB RAM, 2 - 4GB SSD HDD's server or a used gaming pc AMD 7, min 64GB Ram, decent video card (nothing too ridiculous), and once again 2 - 4GB SSD HDD's. I am trying to stay in to six to seven hundred price range. All my VSL Libraries are already on external SSD Drives. I cannot decide what makes more sense?

    My two older laptops are slowly degrading, I cannot stop purchasing VSL Libraries (Lol), the two never worked very well, so it is time for them to go.

    I am asking for thoughts and or opinions from more experience users.

    Thank you in advance.

    Paul

    Xeon servers tend to have loud fans and power supply. Will you be able to have it in a different room?
