I just got back from ordering my new computer. And paying for it (ouch!!) .
Thanks to everyone who read and commented on the specs I posted.
And tons of huggles to operaguy for reccomending I go to PCClub :wub:
(Mike at PCClub was a HUGE help putting this puppy together)
Everything I wanted had to be special ordered. Once the stuff is in and assembled, I take my old computer in and they will yank out my C drive and install it into the new computer. So I won't have to reinstall my programs or lose my saved email! It will also save me weeks of data transfer work.
MY NEW SYSTEM (As shown on the order form):
M/B ASUS S775 X38 DDR3 P5E3 Deluxe ATX
CPU, INTEL S775 C2Q QX6850 3.0G 1333 RTL
MEM OCZ DDR2-667 4GT KIT XTC OCZ2VU6674GK
PNY VCQFX3450-PCIE-PB QUADRO FX3450 PCIE
MS WINDOWS XP PRO 64 BIT W/CD & MED SP2C DSP
SNDCRD, CREATIVE 70SB079000000 X-FI AUDIO
LITEON 20X DBL LYR DVD +/-RW W/LS RTL
PS, TT TOUGH MODULAR 850W SLI W0131RU
HDD WD 1TB 7200 RPM 16M SATA2 WD10EACS ( 2 of these with RAID mirror done)
CASE TT NO PS ARMOR W/WIN BK VA8000BWS
I got only the 2 hard drives for my data (mirrored so I have a back up) due to budget constraints. The case had 9 slots for hard drives so I can add more. The video card is suppose to be specifically designed for CAD work.
total cost is inclusive of parts, labor,sales tax, and putting my current C drive into the new computer. $5189.44
