Hey all,

Well, it's new computer time. 

I've been seriously doing my homework, and I'm considering getting the HP Z820 Workstation in a few weeks.

Reason being, before, when Iwasable to work, I have experience with this computer and it does seem to be quite well in ease of access, and set up.

This is what I'm considering on it, and then I have a few questions afterwards regarding Poser and compiling obj files and the like....

I am considering it having

Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit

12 gigs of unbuffered Ram

2 3.30 Intel Xeon Processors

4 TB Hard Drive

6 GB nVidia Tesla Card

Now here's where my question comes in -- will I ever have to run a render over night again with a computer like this?  (I'm sooooooo hoping not) and if I stick to Gmax (I do have Hexagon but just can't get used to it) will it take forever to still compile obj files?  Sometimes pending on the complexity, I've had to have it run all night before.

Thanks for everyone's input.  I really appreciate it, and hoping this computer should solve my rendering needs and model constructing needs. Didn't get it yet, should be in a few weeks. (like a kid in candy store thinking about this.......)
