Well as Im guessing many of you have seen, Im going to be building a new studio in my basement. I made sure I put a lot of thought into what I was going to buy and I think I have my final shopping list put together. If anyone cares, LOL.

Refurb iMac 20" 2.16 Core2Duo, 1GB ram, 250HDD, Super etc - $1299.00
2GB (2X1gb) memory upgrade from newegg - $208.00

That would save me the 175 from apple memory upgrade and I'll have some 512MB sticks to sell somewhere.

Behringer MS40 Digital Monitor (40 Watts) -$129.99

Nady SP1 Microphone and Stand Package (mic, stand and 20' cable)- $19.99
MXL MXLV63M Condenser Studio Microphone with Shockmount - $99.99
Evolution MK-449C MIDI Controller - $119.99

Sound absortion foam for the walls - $108.00

I think this stuff will get my studio well equip'd for now.. In case anyone is wondering I'd be doing a lot of vocal recording, singing and voice overs.

Cool. I just bought those behringers and they're great for the price. I've got a little mixer that I use as well. Tell me how that condenser mic goes I'm looking at getting one. What audio interface are you going to use?

For now I have an M-Audio Quatro USB interface that is connected to a Behringer 4 channel mixer.. But I probably after everything else is setup I'll get a Alesys firewire 8 channel mixer. This way it will get rid of 1 box and I'd be able to record the channels to individual tracks.
