I'm going to buy a new workstation to be used at home. I telecommute a lot, so I do a lot of programming at home, which means keeping websites, manuals, virtual machines, email, emacs etc. open at the same time. I'm putting a fairly low budget here, because it's a waste to pay more than needed if this budget is possible.
Budget: <$1500 (after whatever rebates, but I prefer not to waste my time mailing stuff)
Requirements:
- Lots of memory (multiple running VMs etc.)
- nvidia graphics
- silent, so no crazy fans on graphics card
- 2 or 3 monitors, probably 24" with 1920x1080 resolution.
My location: Philadelphia, USA
Some of the stuff I've been doing lately has involved QT UI programming and I'm thinking of learning OpenGL properly. For this reason, I'd like a GPU that supports the newest OpenGL 4.3 standard, but I don't really have many other requirements in terms of graphics. I'm running Linux, so I need an nvidia chip for solid OpenGL support on the platform.
