Default Re: Getting a new computer. Need advice.

Go to the nearest 3d production studio, and ask them if they have any old rendering stations they're getting rid of, chances are they will.

Tippet Studios was selling 8.8ghz quadcore Dells with 512mb graphics cards for around $300, and for a rendering station that's crap....considering most of today's single stations are anywhere between 24 and 40ghz.

I have the 8.8ghz model and it runs everything at max with zero problems.
