I bought a month ago a drummachine and i'm having a lot of fun playing it with my gameboys.
I've prepared a bumping liveset but i totally need a compressor.
Any nice advice? i'd like to spend under 100€ for a second-hand machine.
It HAS to be portable, so no rack units, please.
plus: any website where i could find cheap rca and jack cables for cheap in europe?

Alesis Bitrman has a compressor. Works pretty well I guess.
i'd prefer to don't buy rack units. Even if that's the holy grail, i just need something cheap to plug my gameboys in, lol.
at the moment the two option i've seen are these:
SAMSON C-COM OPTI (100€ used)
ALESIS SMASHUP (80€ new)
any other advice?

3630's are not that deep either, they're only 1U size for convenience
would you really advice it? i'm reading some reviews and they really don't use nice words on it... (and for that price i could buy a dbx266)
also, i'd really love to do some sidechining, is it possible with a 3630?

the FMR stuff is really nice. i had a FMR RNLA on loan from a friend and it was great
i have a 3630 and love it for its shit sound, i mean this thing colors the sound majorly. which for what i do is no problem for the most part.
its really cheap as well

+1 for DBX266 - I know it's rack, but it's sweet as. Or, keep your eye on ebay for a JoeMeek MC2.
TBH, reading your first post again, I think your budget is a bit too tight. You're really only in the market for a cheap bit of tat, or perhaps a pair of cheap stop boxes, like Line 6 Constrictor.
EDIT: A quick Google brought up Behringer MiniCom COM800, there may be other Behringer options in budget. This falls in the cheap tat category, but with your budget I'm not sure you have many options

this, seriously..
love mine
uuh!
Those FRM stuff look really nice! (and the price is ok)
what's the differences between the RNC and RNAL models?
this looks really really good. Too bad in Brazil it costs ridiculously R$ 800,00 (about Us$ 500,00)
Probably the first time Daft Punk wasn't mentioned in a post about the 3630 
You can also sidechain on behringers crappy compressors, if that was your main thought.
I doubt that anyone sells new smashups though.
I cannot sidechain using the Alesis Smashup, so i don't want it.
I've read really nice reviews about that RNC1773, so i'm probably buying it (on ebay i could find it for 120€).

Whoops
