Approximate Purchase Date: Oct 15 2011
Budget Range: $900-1200
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Developing Software w/ Eclipse, Xcode, Oracle, MySQL, JBoss, Websphere, apache, multiple instance of JVMs, Running VMWare or VirtualBox with two or three instances, etc.
Requirements: I would like a build that is fast for 80% of what i have listed above. Run at least Two 24" monitors (1920x1080) and maybe a third in command line mode for monitoring log files and initiating build and deploy. I'm not so much into gaming unless angrybirds.chrome.com is considered gaming.
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com, ncix.com
Country of Origin: USA/Canada
Parts Preferences: Open to Suggestion
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Say what?
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Nice To Have: quiet, easy-ish to build, low power(ie heat) or am i going to get a lot of laughs from this one?
Additional Notes: (which im lacking knowledge in)
- I would consider SSD(s) if they are that much better. Or would 6gbs be fast enough? I would use a ssd for boot/OS/Dev Folder/Working Folder and other large SATA drives for backup, storage, non essential file server and
- Is i7 2600k the way to go?
- do i need separate graphics card or can i use a three graphics output board that can handle two or threex1920x1200? Years ago on board graphics chips were crap. Is that the same today?
- I've heard power supplies are important to gaming mostly. Yet cheap products can burn out hardware.
