Hey Slayerman,
     I actually own one of Geekbox's Pro Audio Masterworks machines (It's awesome BTW).  Although they aren't listed on the Geekbox website, they actually have quite a few Pro Audio Machine lineups depending on what you are going for.  I noticed that you are using a 003 Rack.  Any other audio hardware?  Do you use any Virtual Instruments/Sample based plugins?  What is your typical workflow for a Studio session?  I can give you some pretty good pointers on what to get depending on your needs then you can talk to the Geekbox guys and they will take it from there.  Here are some pictures of my setup:

We are about to revamp the audio line - I would definitely hold out about a week or so while we finalize the stats. Would you mind calling me at the Sandy store, so I could get your e-mail address and keep you in the loop? The new product is extremely well configured, and the pricing is even more attractive than it was before we pulled the Audio Masterworks line off the web.

Talk to you soon!
