As an investment, a few years ago, I found it viable to purchase a small amount of equipment for hire as an addition to my services.

This equipment is available for hire at reasonable rates, and ready for any event.

Currently, I have available for hire;

1 x High End Systems Road Hog (Standard Version) c/w USB Timecode Input

1 x Hippotizer V3 Media Server on Dell XPS 2010 with Tripple Head to Go (+ spare or 2 active)

1 x Tablet PC Running Hog PC or could run Chamsys, Jands Vista or MA. Ideal with DP2000's since the DP's now also accept Artnet.

3 x High End DP2000 Racks (each rack with DP2000, Wireless Router & Ethernet Switch. Fitted with Powercon Mains & Ethercons for Cat5)

2 x MIDISTAR MIDI Box, for use with Timecoding on either Road Hog or Hog 3 PC, and probably Hog 3 as well

1 x Vectorworks System, with full ESP Library plugin (Mac or PC)

1 x ESP Vision System, with direct input via Hog Net, Artnet, or a DMX Interface, which I have here

In the upcoming month I am looking to further purchase; 

1 x Hog 3 PC Programming Wing
1 x Hog 3 PC Playback Wing
1 x DP2000 Rack (same spec as the other 3)
1 x Touch Screen Laptop Computer
1 x Additional Touch Screen

The theory being the Hog PC system will fit onto Planes with Backline etc. 

1 x Macbook running Lightconverse via Bootcamp 

Please note that the grandMA console I used to have for hire was sold in August 09. It was a great desk over the 2.5 years I had it, but since the MA2 has come out, I feel I should move with the times.
