PC based RTAs

I'm trying to figure out what I need, other than a laptop, to put togther a solid PC based RTA. Does anybody know of good software and what hardware I need, where to get it from maybe, etc.? I no doubt need a mic, but what would work with a pc? Something USB maybe? Or does there have to be some additional equipment between the mic and laptop? please help.

Audiocontrol makes an RTA

I found this ... http://www.trueaudio.com/rta_abt1.htm

From what I can tell, it looks like PC based offers far more flexibility. I had found a different one last night that was much more comprehensive than this one (I think), but was also about $600 for the software. It could do time alignment, polarity checks, and tons more.

Is there an advantage to using a traditional RTA like the audiocontrol? Is it as capible.

looks like you can do a pretty cheap rta that will work great. i might have to do that one of these days.

I would keep an eye out for a Coustic RTA-33 floating around on Ebay. In dash and amazing accuracy. This is the RTA we used back in the day.

That program is awesome. I played with the demo a few months ago.
