I Am Committed!, Got G5 & MOTU rig Options

[Todzilla]

Well, I just gave 'em my credit card.

I'm getting:
G5 dualproc 1.8 w 1.256 RAM 60+120G HD
MOTU 896HD
MOTU MicroLite
DP 4.1.2 (upgrade from Perf)

for less than $3800, shipped. Pretty good deal?

I will need advice from y'all as I move my dinosaur analog ass into the digital age. Any thoughts?

Here's the rest of my setup:

• Space: 4000 cubic feet single room with cathedral ceilings, Ethan Weiner bass traps, and OC703 absorption
• Mics: Neumann U89, 2 X Crown cm700s, SM 57, etc...
• Pres: Demeter, Art, Mackie 1202
• Outboard: RNC, dbx 166, lexi lxp-1, alesis garbage
• Monitors: Audix 1As; Hafler 200
• Misc: Yammy promix01 (MOTU control surface?), Tascam DAT machine (for digital conversions?), ADAT blackface (for sharing tracks with buddies?)
• MIDI: Roland D-50, D-550, U-220, MKS-7; Korg prophecy, X5; Emu ESI-32; Peavy Spectrum Organ w/ Motion Sound rotary speaker; Yammy P50
• Gits: '76 Tele deluxe, ibanez strat copy, Takamine acoustic; Mesa Boogie DC-2 amp
• Crap Fostex R2R, brother's drumset, lots and lots of ancient sound garbling stuff and miles of wire

Then I have two next-door neighbors with equivalent or better setups.

Any thoughts?
