Love to chat and maybe I'll have internet on vacation, but I'm literally leaving in minutes.

Regarding self-built computers, I was looking newegg and lots of reviewers were saying these pre-built units were less money than the sum of the parts used, and the parts were good - what they would have picked anyway.

Please inform.

I might consider a farm of cheaper units, as well. Some of the really high end I7 980X boxes run over $3000. I imagine that having a few 930s or even 860s with network rendering would be faster at the same price. I mean, 12 cores versus 4, you know.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
