You have to have a good excuse to get something that expensive. An excuse that pays pretty well..
I've only seen these giant Open Labs workstations in action once, when the Crystal Method was using 'em at Ultra this year…
…..When it crashed right at the beginning of their set….
yeah, they are not very stable, and have crashed on me at extremely embarrassing moments.
What it would actually cost to just buy the innards of a PC, a few controllers and assemble them inside a custom-cut-out case? There's a lot of things I couldn't very easily build myself. This doesn't seem too difficult to me…
