it's just that using a computer makes me instantly wanna get stuck in detail-mode and i lose the vibe pretty quickly.
plus although it will be temperature-controlled i still get a bit nervous about putting a computer in there.
my amps will be live in the "studio", but my guitars (aside from a beater) will still be in the house proper.

1. A computer still seems like the most cost effective way to accomplish your stated goal.*
2. Whether you keep the computer in the "studio" or not it will eventually become a paperweight.

*I'm not a big fan of the process either. It's hard to put the visual element in proper perspective. I think the temptations are stronger when working alone too. When you're recording with a band there's a clearer line between tracking and mixing. When working alone it's easier to get pulled into tweaking things and away from making music.
