Hope you get your pc back up and running soon tweet.

Your work is top class and your updated idea sounds better too.

Look forward to seeing more.

Officially out now - Waiting on my new PC (Oh yes).

I don`t have any computer at the mo that can run maya and photoshop so saying byebye to this one


Sweatiest £3500 I have ever spent.

4.1 Quad core, 8 gig of memory and 4gig of nvidia video (well just under - over 2 cards - Hell yerrr). But I might get some more memory as I hear talk of an offer to take it up to 16gig

My last set up (P4 2.8 (OC to 3 and with Hyperthread) 2gig ddr2 memory and 256 nvidia 6 ) lasted me 8 years with a GC update in 2005 and 2 new hard drives so hopeing that this one surpass that.

Only problem is its comes on the 1st Agu - way to far away for my liking.

that sounds sweet! what are the cards? and whats your new job, is it in 3D?

BFG GeForce GTX 295 H2OC 1792MB GDDR3 PCI-Express Watercooled Graphics Card x 2

Nope both my new jobs are non 3d - one shop one bar - I hate both but they pay the bills.

Well not this one, but girls friends credit card is hehe - I`m so now her bitch

Hey tweety the comp sounds awsome ive got 2 GTX280s in mine they are amazing cards can handle everything ive tried to throw at it so far and waiting is always teh hardest part!!

Still - alittle worried about have water inside my pc but I hope its worth it

---

and the monitor(s)?
you have to have at least 3

i hear water cooling f**** itself over after a while... but then i dont know if that came from a reliable source

that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

Already have 2 21` widescreen hd monitors.

I then want a screen you can draw on as I have a disliking for tablets - so that would make 3. Can you now have more than 2 ??? - if so good to know

---

you've always been able to have more than 2

windows supports up to 10 monitors, i've seen people with 4 and 6 monitors, and i think i've seen a picture of someone with the whole ten (i don't know what their hardware was though.... )

if you have two graphics cards then you should have 4 video ports so you can plug in 4 monitors

Wacom has a few tablets that you can draw on as a screen, the cintiq and there's an even older one... can't remember what it's called but i saw it advertised on a few webpages

i dont know what other manufacturers do, if they also have tablet-monitors

we do seem to see such things a lot in all these 'the-making-of-~' videos though don't we?

as far as i can tell the wacom cintiqs are only compatible with the pens from the third gen stuff... so if you have an intuos 4 you can't use it on a cintiq (speculation, but no one has been able to tell me otherwise)

What would you do with 3 monitors?? You only have 2 eyes...

I can understand the benefits of a second one (though if I put a second on my tiny desk, it would fall on the floor...)

Tweetytunes, what 4.1 GHz(?) CPU are you getting? I'm building a new computer right now, but I was planning on going i7 (920).

Sounds sweet tweety.

Watercoolings fine, I've been running it on my rig for about 3 years now and its fine (I installed it too) only for the CPU. I'm not a gamer so theres not point for me to have 2 GFX cards (which I still have, go figure!) or water cool them.

Keep thinking of upgrading to an i7 now that I can get a waterblock so I can use the same cooling, you can massivly overclock them, though I get 1.1 gig O/C off a quad core with it being stable and not too hot when rendering massive files. So hoping that I would be able to get a nice O/C with water cooling and a bit of tweeking.

You should have fun with that M/C.

Yeah if you've got the ports you can run the monitors no probs.
