I use macs and PC's every day for audio production, and contrary to what anyone says, one is not better than the other, they both have their pro's and cons tho.
I prefer PC, and if you want to continue running cubase, with heaps of pirate vST plugs, that are easily found, then PC is definately the way to go.
On the other hand, it's pretty much compulsory these days for people running macs to use Logic. Logic is apparently never being upgraded for PC - ever. That's a bummer.
My two bobs worth, if I had $6000 to buy new gear, would be to spend half that on a wicked PC, another $1000 on a kickass soundcard, and the rest on studio gear. Preferably monitors, or a compressor (focusrite are the cheapest quality ones, and have great sound)
I'm running a 3.6 mhz Dell lappy, (Tho now I would go Toshiba if I had a choice, as the don't overheat as much) with Pro tools (Mbox) and I use reason as a slave. There's nothing I cant do, with the amount of kickass plugs, a Vst to RTAS adaptor, and Reason just being upgraded to 3.0, it's pretty much out of control.
Couldn't be farked typing out all the gear in my studio, there's heaps, and the PC runs it like a dream.
Get the basics, make sure they will serve you well, and indefinately, then buy up on the studio gear. An ultra fast PC, and good soundcard, is the most important thing in your arsenal.
Check out the digi02 as well, sound card and control surface in one.
I'm a protools fanatic, so I am biased as shit for digidesign stuff.
All the same, I like PC better, but that's just my opinion.
You can run most things worthy of running on both.
I'm not really any help at all am I?
