Very pleased with this bad boy, I don't expect anything to happen to this thing, and if it did down the long run, I would be happy to purchase another Rain product. These guys obviously know what they are doing.
Sound
Of course it's your mixer and equipment that make or break the sound. This computer is so streamlined and stripped down that you can run vst plug-ins and effects up the ying-yang with very little latency.
The drives are partitioned in such a way as to keep the system files separate from your music and allow for backup of your files in case of a hard drive malfunction.
Features
Super-fast processor, aluminum chassis, Windows XP Pro, Almost a terabyte of hard drive space, very very quiet, etc, etc.
Ease of Use
Preloaded with Windows XP Pro, so you don't need to do any tinkering. Everything is straight forward and there is documentation that explains the provided applications.
Quality
Came without any nicks or dents, started smoothly, completely compatible with my software.
Value
A little pricey, but all in all, well worth what I paid for.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't needed (and not expect to) any support, but they boast good customer service, and judging by the package here, they probably offer very good service. I will rate it 10 for the benefit of the doubt.
The Wow Factor
Looks sexy, built sturdy, and runs smoothly and quietly.
