You will probably need to add a decent video card, too. As far as graphic capabilities, the servers I've looked at and the one I have are on par with a netbook from 5 years ago.
As far as actual price/performance I think it's the only way to go, but I don't think you're going to be happy using it on stage unless you have an assistant to help carry it.
EDIT: imagine trying to carry an Ampeg 4x10 cab squished down into a 2u rack case with no handles or wheels and make it about 10 pounds heavier. I was originally planning on making a portable case for mine but carrying it into my 3rd floor apartment once was all it took for me to scrap that idea.

I have an RME hammerfall dsp II which connects via PCIe, should be no problem there I guess!
I will find another video PCIe card and of we go!
Looking forward to test this out soon. Thanks again.

The computers which are supposed to be servers contains components which are supposed to be better - in way that server must be stable for long running time (servers are mostly turned ON) so there are higher class CPU's, memory modules and controllers etc (excluding graphics card because they are not so needed to be better).
And to usine multicore optimisation, yes it should take advantage of all cores - i can see it using process explorer and how are the processes of usine spred over the cores on my computer

If I could just run Windows or possibly Ubuntu for Usine, and use 1 PCIe slot soundcard, 1 for video...

I used Newegg for my last (and only, still going strong after 7 years) build. One of the things I miss most from living in the US is that site actually, though my wallet probably feels differently
Here is a link to their chassis section: http://www.newegg.com/Server-Chassis/SubCategory/ID-412

While searching I noticed most rack-computers are servers. And also, the new mac pro uses Xeon multicore processors.
So my questions are:
- Since Hollyhock is highly multicore optimized, does that mean it would be able to make use of the full 6 or even 12 cores?
- Is it even possible to install Win7 64 on a 'server computer'? (I found some posts stating yes, but I'm not really sure...)
Of course this would be really great, because then it would be a lot cheaper and a lot better for live purposes.
Does someone has any advice or experience with this? Thanks!
