just get a nice dell, that way you have warranty.

you can save a few hundred here or there but then what happens when something breaks? They going to express mail the parts to you? There goes all the profit.


I thought you just bought a new bad ass notebook? If not get a notebook thats fast and just use it for everything.

yea, but I'm not gonna design on a notebook.... it's like trying to type up a document on a PDA.... possible, but not exactly preferred. Tiny ass keyboard, LCD screen, no room to move around.....

notebooks are for traveling and light duty stuff.

For the amount of money you are probably willing to spend, and since you mostly use your box for design.... I wouldn't hesitate -- get the Apple.

There is a reason so many pro designers use Mac...

Photoshop in Apple is leaps and bounds faster than on PC.

And now that Apple is 64bit... it's even crazier.

Also, with apple you basically have yourself a local "webserver"....

This means you can have Apache, PHP, Perl, everything... all running natively for your development box if you want.


Here's what I would do I were you:

1) Get the Dual 2.0ghz "refurbished" for $2399.00 (or get the "new" for $2999.. but I would just get the refurb.. computers don't really break.)

2) Add 1 gig of memory (I'd buy it somewhere else)

3) Get a Acard SATA Raid adapter for ~$150 & 2 10k WD Raptor Drives. Run these in raid-0 as your main system drive & run whatever drive came with the box as your junk drive.

Optionally get a couple extra video cards & set up 2-3 displays... not sure how many you use now, but your productivity will go way up with multiple monitors.

But If you insist on getting a PC....

If you are planning on spending $3000 or something, you might want to consider building/buying a 64-bit AMD Opteron box (basically the same CPU thats in the Apples).

You see.. Gates realized recently that 64-bit is the wave of the future & he will be releasing (early this year I think?) a 64-bit version of Windows to use with these new AMD processors.

(article here: http://www.itmanagement.earthweb.com...le.php/2178881 )


Once the public gets a taste of 64-bit Windows on the AMD opteron chip it'll be all over for 32bit Intel.

so if you are about to drop down $3000+, you might consider staying a step ahead of the game here figuring this 64bit windows will be available soon.

Falcon makes nice systems.

http://falcon-nw.com/

Check out their MachV systems. You can spend as much as $850 just on the case if you want to get a fancy paint job. (automotive quality)

They are sort of built for gaming, but that usually goes hand in hand with having the best of everything inside.

oh i didnt mean to use the keyboard/screen/mouse... I would hook a nice crt/flat panel up to it along with a regular keyboard/mouse.

Then you have everything on one machine and if you go anywhere you have all your work with you.

Yea but they suck for service): Within a week of getting my last one, the processor, motherboard and power supply died and had to be replaced. After about 12 hours on the phone with the non-English speaking service techs, I was able to get a tech out 2 weeks later to fix it .

If you've ever visited Dells site and their forum for customers, you'll see the same complaint over and over......


Love it, but would never buy another for that reason...they contract their service out and that 800 # gets answered in India

I don't understand why people don't build their own computer. It saves you at least $500 or so, you get to select your own parts (instead of using generic shitty parts from vendors like Dell).

Plus, it's easy as pie building your comp, any newbie can do it.

I'll probably never buy a prebuilt system again either, but you gotta admit, some people just don't have time to build their own.

Maybe it's just where I live, but I had to visit 3 different stores to get what I needed and I still had to order some stuff (like the Thermaltake case) through mail order. Every store around here just stocks the ugly almond coloured cases with shitty cooling.

Any money I probably saved by building it myself was blown on gas and time.

It is fun though.
