This time around we're giving you all a chance to win an Intel Core i7-2600K-infused, custom-built rig complete with 16GB of RAM, a Gigabyte Z68-based motherboard, and an Intel SSD—among many other goodies--all wrapped up in a slick, aluminum case. To sweeten the deal, the system also sports over $600 worth of additional software, including Cakewalk Sonar X1, NI Komplete Elements, softsynths, effects, and content, as well as separate dedicated system, audio, and sample library hard drives.

The complete parts list and breakdown for this custom built audio-creation rig are listed below:

Attention all! We've added just a small requirement for the PC Audio Labs folks here. They're a smaller, high quality, specialized manufacturer that needs to get some traction on Facebook, so we rolled that in too. Show the love and it will come back to you, honest!

For a home studio this is a awesome rig "Cakewalk Sonar X1, NI Komplete Elements, Softsynths Effects and content, as well as separate dedicated system, audio, and sample library hard drives" especially with a full cakewalk Sonar and awesome sample library drive. Very sweet system for writing some music I love that HD array not that all the other awesome stuff is by any way anything not awesome but you really need a good storage sampling etc HD array for sound work.
