Looking at a system that will primarily be used to do renderings, but also some 3D modelling and a lot of cad work.
The first setup will be two computers using the Q9300 and will use net render to utilize dual quad cores. Will try to overclock up to 3.0 ghz
The next setup is just using dual Xeon processors E5420, just not sure on the motherboard.
Anyone have any suggestions on either build and which is worth the money
