Thinking about getting myself one of these for x-mas.

Is there anything I should know about them prior to buying?

The couple I have seen around all seem to be professional rack mounted types but taht should be aokay shouldn't it?

What should I expect to pay for a decent EQ? THe ones I have seen are about $350 is that reasonable? I also saw one at Rat Shack, woud that be any good or just something to avoid? I am thinking avoid...


Thanks for any and all wisdom!
