A few more questions if I may.
The green light on my guitar port often flicks on and off to red - does this mean i've got a poor connection?
As far as monitors go I'm using a dirty great 21" CRT screen (a bit of a neccessity working in publishing). I imagine this is throwing out a pretty powerful magnetic field so would a smaller TFT flat screen be any better? (anyone had a chance to compare CRT with TFT in terms of interference)
I've got 5:1 surround sound speakers on my computer but I'm just using the guitar port with headphones. I'd like to get some deicated speakers for it. Anyone have any recommendations?
