Hey gang,
Been a little while since I’ve posted, thought I’d start back on this one. Here’s a desktop I made 2 weeks ago (can’t go wrong with this cutie).

Btw, as to the web address in the corner, that was something I was planing on registering, but haven’t yet/not sure if I’m going to. So you can ignore that 😛
Uth

NEO-Clone,
Im going to assume that money is no factor here… =) so i continue…
For graphics, ive had the best expirence with a geforce 3 card, however the geforce 4 cards are now out and that would provide great graphics etc…
Also you’ll need a processor that can handle it…
i’d go with a 2.0 ghz (or even a little less, your choice) AMD processor, Oh and get lots of fans to keep it cool and optimal.
Then you’ll need lots of ram, go with at least 512mb or more, i’d perfer a gig of ram. =)
lets see… and a pretty decent monitor, 19" + if ya can (or dont have one already ) cause whats the point in having awesome graphics if your monitor cant handle it.
Thats all i can think of now =)
Of if you dont like windows, get a mac g4, its works great =)

if you can swing it, go with AlienWare… that is the box that will give some serious HP… if you cant swing the steep ticket, try VPR Matrix, you can get these highly customizable system at Best Buy… believe me, worth every penny.

Yea i also have an alienware system, but i’d build it… Mine cost alot, (basically i loved the case lol) and you can build the same machine for alot less. =) Or better yet, go to their website, get a list of all the components and buy them seperatly 😉

Yea i have the Sound Blaster Audigy Ex (with the external box) and it ROCKS.
The sound system is the best (however i have THX surround sound PC speakers heehe) and the soundcard makes everything sound perfect =)
I got the Ex because of the external input box, i try to do alot of msuic making suff etc lol , =)

from the looks of it, you get a lot of playtime at work. Btw, Illustrator 10 is a beautiful thing, and so is Photoshop 7.

Not a screen capture, but with two monitors, this is the only way to show them off. In addition, I built a little wooden cradenza to house everything.

If I brought in 2 monitors, I would have to move the cat out a back window to make space… 😛
and I couldn’t do that to Stanley 🙂
I guess I will have to survive with my single 19" Trinitron … 🙂
