You will need something to sit on and a pedal though but it can be 
found cheap at their website.

Dont you have any sort of sound card in your laptop? if you have a 
joystick port you probably have. i bought a cable connecting the 
brain with the computer trough the joystick port and it works great.

Good luck with your dtxpress if you buy one
