The equipment is the smallest portion of running a show. It's the music that is the major investment. You can run a show with a 2 channel mixer, 2 mikes, and 1 powered speaker, and a 12 inch tv if you need to. As far as the computer equipment goes, you don't need the latest and greatest. Spend the $$ on the video card. 256MB DEDICATED memory on the card. I have one setup that I use to tape a TV show I appear on that can be rolled in on a 2 wheel dolly in one trip. It's not the "Hall Filling" sound I would use for a big show, but does quite fine in the studio.
