Read what Rain Customers think about their Solstice workstation:
"Rain's Solstice proves that you don't have to find a pot of gold to afford a specialist PC offering good performance and low acoustic noise"
–Martin Walker

"Dear Rain, Just sending you this message to give you a giant thumbs up in regards to my Solstice machine. Finally I have a system that provides zero restrictions for creative music composition. Multiple tracks of VST instruments, assorted effects, running glitch free with multiple tracks of audio.
With my previous system I could not even run 2 instances of Moog Modular with out an issue. Now with the Solstice machine the ability to freely asign any combination of vsti with effects & audio arrangements, has freed up my compositions and brought back the means to go crazy with ideas, with no fear of running out of grunt in the processor/reliabilty department!
I use the following software/hardware with the Solstice:
Cubase 4, Arturia Moog Modular, Arturia CS-80,
Waldorf Attack Percussion, Stienberg Halion sampler, and assorted 3rd party VST instruments, outboard synths include, Fairlight MFX series 3, Waldorf XTK Wavetable synth, Korg micro, Emu Mo Phat. Alesis io2 usb audio interface, M-audio 88 usb controller keyboard.
So, Thank you for your powerful & dedicated music/audio computer. It truly comes to the party regarding power and performance!"
–Andy Frampton
"I have to say I've had no problems at all with it, despite hitting it with some of the biggest mix projects I've ever had to deal with. It's great to have a machine with this kind of horsepower, because it allows me to choose the most appropriate plug-ins for the mix job at hand, without having to make quality compromises to conserve CPU horsepower, and there are Mix Rescue challenges I can now take on that would have been unthinkable on my previous setup."
