Post your workstation :)

my current workstation

wow you guys have some amazing systems...heres mine. my ultra hi tech 4 year old pentium D 820 2gigs of ram 500 gig hd with a 500 and 80 gig back up drive and nvidia 8500gt 512mb card...i know its mind boggling :chinese:

[rodderworld]

it's not size that matters, it's what you do with it (sorry, i couldn't resist). it's not the fanciest of setups but it seems to work nicely enough. i wish i had a 3dboxx but i can't. for most of us, your system is a reasonable idea. no need to trash it.

lol i know man..i still love this machine trashing it is not even in my vocabulary...but once i get a new system ill just install linux on this one

why 3dboxx, you can build a similar performance workstation with just picking parts your self for half the price and get the computer store build it for you. 3dboxx might have some extra fancy stuff inside and VGA cards for 3D software but I think its just waste of money. My system cost me 2500$ and it matches the performance of 5000$ 8core macpro.

[rodderworld]

lol, i was talking in the realm of the imaginary. with unlimited money, i might go for boxx systems and render farms but i can't. i totally agree with your point slavke. i just made an exaggeration for the sake of contrasting the real opportunities for many people and what an unlimited budget would accomplish.

I actually like that setup you got there Younglion

I actually like that setup you got there Younglion

thanks man :buttrock: especially seeing your setup

[nfsc]

@slavke: i totally agree...i did a comparison between a maxed out alianware and a custom built computer with twice the performance (and two highend water cooling systems) and turned out to be that u woul pay $4000 more for the alienware with half the performance...wat a rip off...the custom build included parts only dreamed of...such as the skulltrail mother board from intel with to of thos intel core 2 extremes, and 2 4870 x2's.....:buttrock::buttrock::buttrock:the total was almost $8000 for a maxed out custom system that would probably be the most powerful desktop a person could own (for nvidia fans, the price would still hover around $8000 to $9000 if u put 3 gtx 280's)...oh and nice workstation...(ran out of words):banghead::banghead::banghead:

@ younglion: never seen nething more powerful!!! nice setup...ps2 right under that monitor...
(ps: is that "dust off" supposed to be thretening us or something...)

At present I don't have a workstation. I have a laptop, on which I do most of my modeling these days since my laptop is actually faster than my desktop PC in several respects (RAM and CPU).

Laptop --> Asus M50VM-B1. Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 2.53GHz, 4GB DDR2-800, Geforce 9600m GS 1GB, 15.4" 1440x900, 300GB 5400 RPM, etc.

My desktop --> custom made in December 2006. Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz, 2GB DDR2-667, Geforce 7900GS 256mb, 19" 1440x900, 300GB 7200 RPM, etc.

I have to go and buy one of those Mac Pros once the new Nehalem ones come out!! I can't bear doing 3D stuff using my computers... small screen, slow CPU, slow GPU, to say the least! What I need is an 8-core, computer capable of handling 16 threads simultaneously, with a powerful graphics card for viewport rendering plus games, and with 12 or more GB of DDR3 RAM, plus two 24 inch monitors or maybe one 30".

[rodderworld]

nice workstation. i use my laptop for modeling too (my only computer). you might want to invest in a screen first and then get the computer if your laptop is decent.

@Purple Puppy: i would recomend that u not get a mac pro...get another custom build if u want that kinda power...id recommend it cause, in my point of view, custom builds are more powerful for graphics, but hey, ur just wasting money...ESPECIALLY ON RAM! sure they're powerful, but not as powerfule as some custom builds witha skulltrail motherboard...dam, skulltrail stuck in my head now...:banghead::banghead::banghead: two cpu's reight there, 4 pci express slots x16 2.0, and add 2 xeons...and intel might make the skulltrail fro nehalems aswell (most likely they will) and u can put any graphics card......i dunno, ur decision..
btw: why did u install os x on your PC???

dam...i should shutup now...been stuck in computers for too long...lets get "3Ding"!!!

my new/temperary workstation...it's more open, MUCH CLEANER, (im cleaning up the other room) and the custom home theater system is just beside it all, meaning that now im closer to my ps3 than my xbox 360...for now...had to kick my iMac G5/Motorola Mac (as i call it) of the table...
ps: my dad says that crt projection tvs are a million times better quality wise than any lcd... sure there's no "chicken grid" unlike lcd and plasma (the space between pixels) but lcd's don't give brain damage with electromagnetic waves...

btw: i feels like im in a very silent lemans race car...the engine right behind you

Atleast hide the used condom wrappers younglion, man...
