Computer shopping
Okay, this time I REALLY MEAN IT. I'm going to get a new computer, and being hardware incompetent, am looking at you, esteemed friendslist, for help, advice, and, uh, whatever else you care to give.
Purpose: Graphics workhorse
Things I want:
-Lots of RAM
-A very good processor
-CDRW and/or DVDRW drive. Possibly 2 ROM drives. [Why not?]
-A graphics card that can handle dual display (I plan to get a second monitor... coming home from work to my 17" is such a disappointment)
What sort of stuff should I be looking at? Should I get it built? Should I get a name brand? Should I be looking at a Mac? (Actually, no. I don't have software for a Mac.) What do you think the price range would be?
Anyone want to help me build it?
