stick with intel
upgrade the 80GB Drive to nothing lower than 120MB, I have a DJ Setup on my pc in the studio and its not an e-cube, though e-cube are handy to carry around and all, for the price you are bout to spend you can get more bang for the buck by going to a mid tower pc. But if are still going to e-cube. Go hope over to shuttle pc

one of my musicians uses a pc on the road, his setup is sweet, he pc is installed in a 19" rackmount case, chassis is 1" high and he has 3 Drives inside it, maybe you should look into a 19" rackmount pc chassis.

I built one for him, but im sure you can find a builder in your area to build a 19" rackmount pc. and im pretty sure with you traveling on the road your amps and processing equipment is all rackmounted in a rack mount case, right?
