We discused around this threat once, but i still like to recollect 
some opinions about it...

I was about to buy a 19inch rack and an LCD screen, in the first 
place because of money, but i talked to a very friend of mine... he 
advised about the risk of Hard disc damages because of the vibrations 
and [sorry dont know the english word] the wetness of the air in 
crowded clubs and outdoor. He said a Laptop may be more resistant to 
that kind of condicions. Anyhow lots of people work with shuttle case 
PCs and i wonder if they use a special kind of harddisk?

Further i checked out some Notebooks. Seems like most of the 
manufacturers use shared VideoRAM lately and rEalm advised that they 
aint got at all for audio proposals. Lets say that the Notebook have 
512 MB of RAM, if i dedicate 16 RAM to the VideoCard, is there still 
danger of Dropouts or whats the problem with shared RAM? I didnt want 
to replace my desktop PC, i like to use it for DJ proposals and some 
out of studio recordings.
