2011-01-31 23:39:23 So, I Need a new Computer

I can't build one myself, is there somewhere I can get a powerful, reliable workstation at a decent price? My last rig was a Dell, and 3 years later I've already replaced the motherboard and it is now dieing a painful death. I'd rather not use them but I'm not sure where to go that can offer financing...

You pose a few difficult questions. You can't (why not?) build it yourself, and it sounds like you want support and financing.

Sooo, where does that leave us?

This is me thinking about it :P

Yeah, I just don't feel confident building it myself and I've had customs built that went to shit too. It's freaky. I need financing because I'm a bit tight financially right now and I must have a computer. My wife's laptop won't cut it. I've got to run the Adobe suite and 3ds max and Zbrush...

Since when was the last time you build a computer?

They are literaly easy to buld this days. Maybe the hard part to install is the procesor ,and is still easy to do now especially intels procesors.

I have been building my own computer since I was 14 when I build my first one, and I will never ever buy a computer already build.

I've been looking at Origin, but they don't do financing so I'd need to find a line of credit...

Ok, I couldn't go with Origin, but I just ordered this 'lil beast. It's not the most powerful out there, but not too shabby for 1500 bucks-

Intel core i7 870 DP55
16 GB Corsair XMS RAM
Gtx 470 1280MB video card
TB HD

Nice. Congrats on the new PC.

Thanks. I've never had close to that much Ram before, so I am absolutely giddy to get into my "programs"(3ds max, the Adobe Suite-especially After Effects). My Brother( who is now an occupation therapist) was telling me I can get new student versions of Adobe and Max for free through the WoundedArtist program. Sweetness...

Wow.. somehow I missed that. Yeah--16 gigs is excessive (right now). Sweet :)
