Hi everyone. I have been tasked in finding a high-end pre-built system that can be used for extensive media operations (photo editing, intensive video editing, 3d modeling, et cetera.) I have been asked to try and go with Dell because they give a large discount in bulk.

The specifications I've been given to work with are: very powerful CPU (lol), a lot of video RAM (3gb+), a lot of RAM (as much as is possible), and to be under $1500.

I would be very appreciative if anyone could help me out and recommend a system we can work with here. We will need to buy about 35 of them, and they need to be able to have a long and very intensive life.

Thanks again.
Awaiting replies.

You could seriously build 35 of these for $1500 each and they'd be *LIGHT YEARS* ahead of anything you can buy from Dell, and no bloatware on top of that:

well all he can do is go with something that has the hardware he will require for the tasks and hope they fit his needs and backs there stuff up to handle his job

they should have a rep to plan with and supply him with support for what they told him on what of theres they sold to work

for a 35 rig sale they should send there rep with a computer that they will do the job and demo it to him to see its capable for the job

when my old company replaces computers there sales rep s are lined up at the door with computers they want you to look at and make that sale to them and the guy whos computer did the best job at the price gets the sale

The only reason I'm not custom building is because of 1) 35 computers and 2) the rods they have up their hoohahs about wanting Dell. With that, thanks for the suggestions and I'll see what I can do from there.

They're idiots then if they insist on Dell. My company stopped buying from them like 10 years ago and we build all systems in house, saved us a ton of money in the long run. In the short run Dell seems like a good idea, but the hassles that come with their systems are far more unreliable because of shoddy PSUs and systems that don't allow for upgradability.
