Topic: PC vs LAPTOP thread. What u rollin with? VJ? DJ?

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Simple, if you have a PC just reply PC, if you have a LAPTOP, well.....

Just trying to get an odea of what the majority of people are using, if your feeling saucy enough, list your specs and if you are using VDJ for video, or just audio.

PC although should be desktop/laptop :P
 
both

laptop for when i have to travel light

desktop for studio work and local gigs

do video , kj and audio
 
I'm a music only desktop user who just switched from my laptop because of IRQ sharing problems. Not very mobile (especially with my big 75 lb 19" CRT monitor), but it's a hell of a lot more reliable;^]
 
Laptop, Audio only running with 2.6ghz/512mb, works flawlessly.
 
Guess I should have been more percice.

Rackmount case PC in custom welded steel frame (I love my mig welder)
Just upgraded to allow for video.
Just a 5.1 card into a 3 channel mixer with DAC2 controller

Previously was just using audio- as close to flawless as can be expected.
 
Running laptop with DUAL BOOT of Windows XP, on two partitions on the harddrive.

one is ONLY for Virtual DJ (small 8 gigabyte partition), the other is for fun, game, play and online surf.

After making a CLEAN partition with CLEAN windows, I have never had any issues with VDJ.
Warmly recommended, for super safe djing....

 
For now laptop, planing on getting a rackmountable pc.

Rackmount PC (audio & Video)
 
Use a Rackmount PC with 2x 80 gig internal drives for music and karoke.
The operating system is on a removable drive, I have two of them one for VDJ
and another for the net and audio/video work.
 
Laptop. P4 1.82GHz, 1gig ram, ATIx300 video card(128mb memory) . Great for audio, good for video most of the time, unless in a hot and sweaty nightclub!
 
Laptop, Full video mixing. Dell Inspiron 5150, 3.2GHz Hyper threading. 1.25GB Ram, 120GB HDD.
GeForce 5200GO 64MB Video dedicated.
Runs a dream!
 
FOR AUDIO : Laptop HP 7010 1.4GHz 40gb HDD , Archos PVP 80GB , External 250 gb HDD

FOR VIDEO: Shuttle xpc SD37P2 , E6700 2.66GHz Dual Core, NVIDIA 8800 GTX , 2048 RAM , 150GB HDD Western Digital 10000 rpm , 750 GB HDD SEAGATE BARRACUDA, SHUTTLE 17'' MONITOR , Second monitor 10.4''

For both setups I carry a custom-made rack with a Pyle Pro 4-CHANNEL mixer, Double cd-mp3 player , and dac-3.

My projector is Infocus LP 600.
