OK, so here goes.
For a small-potatos setup (recording demos and original music for Flash animation):
A mini Mac with 1GB RAM Digidesign MBox in one of the USB ports Glyph drive in the firewire OS + production software in the internal HD Recording tracks onto the Glyph
Good? Bad? Indifferent? Cheap minds want to know!
Many thanks,
--IW

Well...like I said--small spuds (and also small $$$, which means that an interface/software bundle is attractive). At this point, PT will probably serve my needs as well as anything else.
Right now, I'm more interested in whether the Mac mini will do the job...

Live acoustic guitar, MIDI keys, live keys, maybe some vocals, in various combinations. No softsynths (K2500, Karma, Evolver, CZ-1...things that actually take up space!)
How many playback tracks do you suppose I can get out of this while recording?

Set it up the way you said you'll get loads of tracks. If the firewire starts to clog up spread them onto the internal as well. Wouldn't like to say specifically just in case there's some silly bottleneck somewhere but you know, 24+?? It's crazy, some people really really hate Digidesign. I love all my TDM dsp chips, every one mmm kissy kissy kissy! I love logic too, my cute l'il tdm bridge and DAE mmm hugs xx must admit though, it's a bit of a monopoly sometimes.. and it's overpriced, well, not the mix stuff these days... or the 001, or mbox, er, or audiomedia's, umm, or nubus stuff, umm, just the HD stuff, and the mixers!

Go for the bluetooth option as well on the mac mini, with the wireless keyboard n mouse so there's even less usb traffic... Who me? Good suggestion re: Bluetooth...keep the traffic down to myoosic only...
