   Maybe something could be done to shim or otherwise increase the clearance   
   space for the lid.

   Lighter and less things anyway ;)

   Yep, and since I've already done it, by BUYING the gear, that's quite   
   enough!

   I was just thinking how cool if would be if it had something like 500W of   
   power to go with it ;)

   Behringer is known for good equipment.

   Better and better.

   It's dedicated and has a name that's known for quality, I'd say so.

   BIG difference! Computers are made for Retarded Zombie Idiot Robots, which   
   don't care about anything that requires thinking, but Dedicated Music   
   equipment is quite another, and refreshing matter!   
      
   I Behringer made a computer specifically designed for musicians, Then I'd be   
   more interested!

   I'd say the very situation, and its factors more than justify not having to   
   worry about the new equipment, Now if it had anything to do with crApple, or   
   MicroPuke, then I'd really worry!
