I am buying a $7k computer, any last minute
 

ok, make that $1.5k. What machines are you guys running? Just curious

here is my rig

Macpro and imac.

.

My desktop is an i7 with 8 gigs of ram, windows 7, but the power supply died, so i've been working off my 2011 13" macbook air for the last week.

get a mac tbh. esp if u do web dev work, easier to be in a nix environment

Nice

I'm running on an Intel i5 2500k @ 4.4GHz, 16GB DDR3, 2 Radeon 6870's crossfired

I am getting INTEL Core i5-2400 3.1GHz, not sure if I should go for the Intel Core i7, from what I hear the performance difference is negiligent - at least this is what I'm reading on the forums

Imac, Mac air, Iphone , thats the work setup to makes money

i7
16gb ram
1tb hdd
win 7

still on the old vic 20 and rolling.....

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

core i7 3.2ghz
12gb ddr3 ram
120gb ssd
1tb hdd
some decent 1gb graphic card
27" LG LED

2009 iMac, & Sony Vaio Laptop

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.

You guys have computers ?

Yeah my macbook air has a ssd and its fast!!!

I don't use a pc.

Corsair SSD Force GT. 555 read 515 write. I'm loving It.

I'm goinna buy a new one soon.
The fastest of everything. 2 videocards. 4 screens :)

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

i7 processor
6TB HD
6G Ram

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.

Welcome back captain obvious :1orglaugh

Buy a Mac. You'll love it.

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


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

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)

1,500? What a idiot...

Macbook Air + 27inch Cinema LED.

All I'll ever need.

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

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 :)

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

if money is no object

Buy a Dell. You won't look back.

Asus netbook :)

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.

ASUS ROG set-up bought specifically for Skyrim - http://rog.asus.com/notebook/17-inch/g73jw/ (with all the max off the shelf specs)

AMD 1090T, 16 GB DDR, Intel SSD for OS

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.

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

Get the best
 

Worked at one of America's biggest movie theatre companies.
Everybody had IBM's
Except the Art Design Dept.
Totally Mac.
I also used my PowerBook on a few accounting as there's a funky old database that works better than any new Windows or Mac program. Saved thousands of hours of work and made thousands of dollars in income.
