I'll look into them more. I seen a couple custom builds that turned out pretty good so I might end up with these. Right now I'm bouncing in between customs with tymphanys or highly modded mrspeakers alpha dogs (Fostex T50RP)

They’re cheap enough that it’s worth trying out. Do both! I’m working on the MrSpeakers OpenAlpha build myself (once all parts arrive within the next weeks).

Sounds good to me! Would you recommend I make open alpha first or a full custom? I feel like open alpha would be better to start with.

I think I’d go for the OpenAlpha first. It’s a known design that is known to sound pretty good, and it’s easy to modify it a bit and experiment around. If you start with something custom, it may take a long time to see something that actually works well, so that may be worthwhile as a longer-term project.
