Jim charges for consultation but I don't know how much his fee is. Email him and ask. I heard it was very reasonable for his services. Jim really isn't over-priced for his systems IMHO. If you price it out yourself on Newegg, Microcenter, etc you will be able to see that yourself. Jim has been apart of this community from the Cakewalk before Sonar days. He built the PC-DAW's for Sweetwater and helped them setup the Sweetwater Creation Station DAW's.
I guess because I built computers in the past I know what a good computer costs and Jim is several hundred dollars more for his services.
