get ssd at least as a main drive. if you're not doing anything heavy processing wise, i5 is plentiful

You'll be perfectly fine if you go with an i5-2400, just as long as you don't plan on overclocking. They're really nice processors.

What SSD to you have? I just bought a Crucial M4 SSD and I can't believe it took me so long to switch to an SSD...you can really tell the difference.

NewNick · 02-08-2012, 01:46 PM

You guys have computers ?

Go to Dell.com and search for the Cray. If you can afford one, it will most likely be the last you ever buy.

I'm jealous, I have been wanting to try out a multi-screen setup for awhile now.

Affordable computers are becoming faster over time in the past few decades. Think about Pentium 1 processor. After that, there was Pentium 2, 3 and 4.

I'm 100x more productive running two monitors now.

In a few weeks, I'll be buying two more + building a new tower.

biskoppen · 02-08-2012, 06:31 PM

You need to get a SSD, there's no way around it.. the difference is insane.. I boot up in like 25-30 seconds or so.. and the start up of any program takes the blink of an eye (almost)

AMDWarrior · 02-08-2012, 06:41 PM

1,500? What a idiot...

seeric · 02-08-2012, 06:42 PM

Macbook Air + 27inch Cinema LED.

All I'll ever need.

beerptrol · 02-08-2012, 06:43 PM

my TRS-80 just died, so I'm using my old webtv set up!

CrocMint · 02-08-2012, 06:48 PM

I like Acer ultraslim laptops (Timeline series).
When in office - just connecting good monitor and keyboard vs mouse.

Linux works pretty fast even on older models

vdbucks · 02-08-2012, 07:02 PM

I ended up dropping the SSD as my system drive.. Over time, you start losing max storage space as there are max writes (10,000) to each block, which is pretty bad for a system drive.

Unless of course newer versions resolves this.

My rig:

Asus Z8NA-D6c
2x Intel Xeon e5620 @ 2.4GHz
12 GB Kingston DDR3 1333 ECC Registered RAM (2x of the link)
MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin FROZR II
Samsung 2333HD 23" LCD monitor
Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1000W

Main system drive is a regular sata2 drive (seagate 500GB)
Main Work disk is a 128GB SSD (Crucial, it's an older model.. need to upgrade)
Work archives spanned across 2x 1TB RAID 1

I believe that SSD problem was fixed, not exactly positive though. The newer models have came a long way and SSDs using the Sandforce controllers are much better then they used to be. I still only looked at Intel, Crucial m4, and Samsung's 830 series to be on the safe side though.

Why??

You can spend less, get a better system and a normal computer with a big screen.

You attached a 27 inch screen right? I mean buying a small screen laptop just for a game kinda defeats the purpose.

Darkhorse · 02-09-2012, 02:04 AM

I change systems all the time mainly due to the fact I am always building new ones, current rig is.
