I'm a 3D Animation grad student getting ready to start work on my thesis - a 3 minute animated short. I'm looking to build a new machine for the sole purpose of working on my project over the next year. I've built a few computers, but have never overclocked any of them. I need everything except a keyboard and mouse. Some questions / things to consider:
- Dual Monitors (at least 19") or a single large monitor
- Probobly don't need / care about SLI. I won't be playing any games.
- Conroe looks good, but I'm a little sketchy about it & mobos for it being so new. This machine MUST be stable. I can't waste time working out glitches & worrying about BIOS updates. I need it to work.
- I'll working in Photoshop, After Effects, Maya, and possibly Lightwave
- I need it to be the absolute best it can be, all for less than $2000
Sooooo, thoughts? Suggestions? Questions? Thanks ahead of time for all your help.
