I got some great responses last time i posted here looking for help finding a PC for my home. Now I’ve got a friend that’s come to me looking for help selecting and setting up a PC for music recording with the app Reaper. I’d be installing Linux Mint and the machine would be used primarily for music recording, no other major applications. It doesn’t sound like it would require a real powerhouse, so we’re hoping to keep the costs down if possible. Form factor doesn’t really matter in this case, we really just want something simple and reliable.

Last time i inquired here, the consensus was that I’ll probably be best taking my specs/needs to the nearest Microcenter and see what they recommend. Does it sound like i should do the same in this case?

Thanks for reading! I appreciate any help you all can provide!
