I'm going to buy a new a new Music Workstation PC in the next few months (or maybe even a Mac, but I doubt it) and while researching I've come across Rain Recording. They're a company that does builds of PCs 'optimised' for media, especially music.

I was originally going to get a PC custom made, but I thought perhaps a PC build company like Rain Recording might provide a better deal for my money.

I was thinking of these builds but it looks like you can customise them as well:

Anything more than $2000 is too much for me right now.

I'm not so much looking for info on the specs as I'm pretty computer-literate but more for actual practical advice about their use especially if you've had any experience with Rain Recording before.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
Im suprised no one has made a post, i know this is super old, but did you ever make a choice? im looking into a rain audio pc myself.
 
No I didn't end up getting a Rain. I reckon it'd be good if you lived in the American area where they operate, but I don't.

i think rain is overpriced for what you get. you could probably built you one for cheaper.

^^ This, most of the parts that Rain use are available from anywhere now. Thankfully the consumer market is just as unhappy with noise coming from PC's as us. But then again my fan is quite loud and it is in the same room as the mic with no interference.
