Quote - I just recently got a new PC from www.magicmicro.com THis is my second system from them. They are in Ohio, USA. The prices and service is excellent. You get a 3 year warranty. I got a i7 950, 12 gigs of triple channel RAM, Windows 7 pro 64 bit, and an Nvidia Geforce 9800GT graphics card with 1 gig of RAM. I have two 1 terrabyte hard drives in it.  It flys. Poser 10 is so fast I can't believe it. The whole system cost just under $1500. US, but it's a lot cheaper than Dell or Bestbuy. You can also get cheaper systems there. I highly recommend them if you live in the US.

MagicMicro prices are good, but I recently bought a machine off the shelf from Best Buy.

I just configured an identical system at magic micro just to compare.

I7 860

8 GB RAM

1 TB disk

5770 video card

20" monitor

What I paid Best Buy: $1199

Magic Micro price: $1218

In addition to saving $19, I had my new computer home, up and rendering, less than 40 minutes after deciding to buy a computer.

The official price at Best Buy was $1299, but I found the identical machine on a web store for $1199 and Best Buy will match any advertised price if you show them the ad online. I did that and they knocked off $100 instantly. No hassle. (They do not make this policy public knowledge for obvious reasons. But I had no trouble getting them to match it.)

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)
