[QUOTE="Meyvn, post: 929774, member: 7539"] Unless you already have the software and all the other equipment besides the computer, and $1000 is your budget, I wouldn't get a Mac. I'd get a fairly inexpensive Windows 7 PC with 4GB of memory, pick up a nice old CRT monitor at Goodwill, and spend the rest of your money on equipment (there's some great stuff they bundle with Pro Tools LE these days); that stuff's critical. The box you run it on, slightly less so. If you *DO* have the rest of the equipment/software (or you have a separate budget set aside for it), I'd squeeze your budget just a tiny bit more and get the entry-level iMac. [/QUOTE]
