Mac pro configuration for use in a sound studio

Hey,
for a college of mine I have to configure a MacPro, which will be used in a recording studio. I've thought of chosing a MacPro with two 2,26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Nehalem", 16 GB RAM, 2 x 1TB drives and 3x NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512MB. This system will be the basis of all recording and mixing issues. He'll probably use Cubase 5, and a lot of plug-ins, etc. Additionally we think about using as many screens as possible. Due to a lack of a window between the recording and the mixing room, we have to enable communication via two webcams and some additional screens. Would it be possible to use 4 screens with 3 graphic cards and to spread the signals of the two webcams to two different preset screens.
Thanks for the information, so far

Hello Chirate,

I am currently using a MacPro in a Recording Studio. I think, the setup you have thought of choosing is great! Mac Pro 2x2.26 GHz, 16GB RAM, 2TB Hard Drive Space and 3x NVIDIA GeForce GT120. In terms of processing speed and memory I think you are good.

Although I do not know if it is possible to use 4 screens with 3 video cards and to spread the signals of the two webcams to two different preset screens.


Hope this helps you out a bit,



Kevin
