Architecture / Digital Design Workstation Build Help!

Wow, thanks everyone! Lots of incredible insight here. elconejito: Storage is a rather serious issue. I'm frequently generating 1-2GB files in Photoshop, and coupled with all the other software I use as well as hi-res photos and music, storage is definitely one of the priorities. I've never...

Architecture / Digital Design Workstation Build Help!

Not sure what to do about memory, though. It seems there are 3 types of DDR3 1333 - 10600, 10660, and 10666... what's the difference between the 3 and which would be ideal for this sort of system? Also, read some things about memory above 1.5 volts being unfriendly with i7. Any info on that...

Architecture / Digital Design Workstation Build Help!

brblx: See, that's the thing... I remember the Quadro cards back in 04 and 05 were monsters. What's the smart move these days? i7 920, lots of memory, and a heavy duty card?

Architecture / Digital Design Workstation Build Help!

mpilchfamily: Thanks for the input! elconejito: I was thinking i7, too. Done some reading up on them... ridiculous little things. I left the budget out as I really don't have a justifiable knowledge of what would be reasonable these days. My last system was $2000, back in 2004, so sure...

Recommend me the Best All-In-One Printer for Under $200

What do you own, and do you love it? What do you recommend? Does higher DPI Res. for scanning really matter above 1200x2400? I have these two in mind, both by Canon, both same thing pretty much, scanner aside: Same printers, except the print speeds are different, and the scanners are...

Dell 2707FWP or Larger Size LCD/Plasma TV?

Ah, you're right... A great mistake on my part, the 27" is $995, in my lack of sleep I had quoted the price for the 24" version.

Dell 2707FWP or Larger Size LCD/Plasma TV?

It's a house, she owns it, and Greek? Seriously doubt it... it's Spanish style... and the house is located in New Zealand, for geographic purposes.
