Sounds like a pretty sweet suite. I notice a possible problem. The screamer requires Ethernet (from what I hear) and you don't have that adaptor listed for the toaster. You will also find that the 4000 does not have enough slots for the YC+ card (could use YC++ external), SCSI card, SR16 card(cound use TAO Editizer Mixer & 16 bit Sound card w/PC), Etherner card and Toaster card. Only the SCSI, Ethernet & Toaster cards will fit in the 4000 before it is full. I just included ideas for alternatives in () these are not your only choices by far. (No flames please) If Lightwave is something you would like to use regularly and you have found a way to get around the slot problem, you might also look at getting a Personal Animation Recorder. You might also concider geting a 2.4 GB SCSI drive (You can never have enough storage). You might also look at getting a memory expansion card and add another 32Mb of RAM (If you plan to do any really complex 3D stuff, and if you get a screamer you will). Memory is also at a premium right now, so if you can hold off, buy as little memory as required now and get the rest in six months. (512Mb for the Screamer? Sounds kinda high with only 18MB in the toaster to build scenes in) -Mike 8-{D} P.S. What part of the country are you in?
