    One last thing... does anyone here know if you can opt out of having the PC Specialist branding/badge put on the front of the case? I love how the Fractal North case looks as is without any logos (fickle I know!).

    PCSPECIALIST Primary use:Audio/DAW / Secondary use: Games/Video Editing

    Hi - yep, they're VST plugins that run only on the UAD SHARC processors. Like you said, dates back to when cpus needed all the help they could get. They've ported some of them over so you can run them native without the cards (can share them with my macs etc much nicer workflow!) but...

    Hi all, Looking at updating my home studio desktop PC. Budget is £1500. Couple of extra notes, this is mainly for heavy audio/DAW work but I also use it as my main gaming machine (albeit casual HD gaming, by no means after cutting edge, I'm still playing quite a lot of older games tbh!). I...
