I have a certain, ehm, "enthusiasm" for sound and music technology... 🤣
...since music production is your goal...
Both the subject 486 system, and the mentioned Gateway 486, are for straight gaming. I have a P5-166 system that drives the nightmarish setup that includes the larger synths and digital recorder (Cakewalk Pro Audio 8.0), but the entire MIDI network itself is somewhat dual-purpose, and is accessible from whatever is given input into it besides. (The satellite, "Wave Blaster Rack" unit was built more for the Gateway 486 than anything else, admittedly.) I think if I were to go into the minutiae of everything involved, eyes would glaze over, but suffice to say, I'm fairly confident that my setup is more elaborate than any number of actual "production" studios, circa 2002. 🤣
Lest there be any more confusion, the "MIDI General" Dell build is, and will likely remain, a stand-alone gaming system. 😀
