Hi
I have to push Falcon Northwest.
The Basic Talon will really do the job but you can beef it up if you want to.
I upgraded to two 1 terabyte hard drives and two DVD writers.
I've had my Talon for two and a half years and I love it.
3 of my friends have bought them after seeing mine.
We've had discussions about render times and stuff here before and I can render things in seconds that take some other users many minutes.
My friend Paul just bought a new Talon and it's noticeably faster then mine and has 16 gigs of ram, I only have 8.
I can run a 3D game like Wow at as high as 300 fps, if I don't limit the frame rate.
I use the highest setting possible for preview render 4096 by X and get virtually instantaneous renders even when animating.
Next year I'm going to buy a new one, and pass this one on to my nephew.
Sorry for the over enthusiasm but I love this computer the best I've ever had.
And the price while not cheap isn't really that bad, if you compare it to Dells and mass produced stuff like that.
FNW has been in business since 1991 and has a super reputation.
Make sure you price out a Talon, the Mach 5s do get a litle pricey with all solid state HD etc.
I love to window shop, just putting together different configurations getting ready for next year. next one 32 gigs of ram, or maybe 64 by then. LOL
If you just want a list of componets build one in the configuration program and write down the componets that they use.
