Well guys. I work at the brazilian senate TV, and i'm fighting for a new workstation build since 2010...
Purchase Date: If everything goes well, next month.
Budget Range: $8000 each of the 8 workstations (including softwares and peripherals).
System Usage: broadcast motion graphics.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes.
Do you need to buy OS: Yes.
Location: Brazil.
Parts Preferences: Intel CPU, Nvidia Quadro.
Overclocking: No.
SLI or Crossfire: Preferably no.
Monitor Resolution: 1600 x 1200
Additional Comments: Low power and quiet. Need a broadcast monitor on the budget.
Why Are You Upgrading: We're still working on Dell Precision 670 workstations. Obsolete.
My build so far:
Mobo: Asus P9X79 WS
CPU: Single Intel E5-2650L
Monitor: Dell U2410
Graphics cards: Nvidia Quadro 4000 and Decklink Studio SDI
Reference monitor: Panasonic BT-L1500PJ
Need:
1. 4x 8gb DDR3 ECC RAM.
2. Primary SSD 1/2TB sata-600.
3. two secondary HD 2TB sata-600.
4. A fine, discreet case.
Observations:
1. Since is a public purchase, i can't define the exact parts, only specify the needs.
2. The monitor has to be 12 bit with full sRGB gammut.
3. All parts need to be internal.
4. The decklink card is for SDI SD/HD output, as well as analogic output (we still use a Betacam SP deck sometimes...)
5. I don't have room for 3 monitors.
6. 2 gigabit ethernet is a need.
7. System must be Windows (we work with 3d max).
Edit: Links working.
Edit 2: Here are the actual specs i'm working with:
computer monitor
Dimensions: 24'', widescreen (16:10)
Screen tech: LCD TFT IPS with backlit LED or CCFL
Inputs: 1 Displayport and 1 DVI-I
Internal processing: 12 bits
Stand: desktop (no rack), height-Adjustable stand,tilt, swivel and pivot
Color support: 1,07 billion colors; 100% sRGB, at least 96% AdobeRGB
Native resolution: 1900px x 1200px, at 60hz
workstation tower
broadcast video output: SDI SD/HD, composite video (YPBPR) BNC 1.0Vp-p, 75 ohms with sync
GPU: 256 bits interface; 2GB GDDR5 buffer; 120GB/s bandwidth; support for OpenGL 4.1 and DirectX 11
audio output: analogic stereo, XLR 3-pin; P2 stereo; S/PDIF
video output: DVI-I; Displayport
audio processing: 7.1 channels; 119dB DAC, 104dB ADC
network: 2 Ethernet Gigabit (100/1000 Mbps) ports
CPU: 8 cores, 16 threads; 20Mb L3 cache; 2 QPI links, 8GT/s; max TDP 70W, ECC support
memory: 32Gb RAM (4 x 8Gb) DDR3 ECC on 1333MHz (is timing and voltage crucial?)
Primary storage: SSD 512Gb SATA-600
Secondary storage: 2 x 2TB HD SATA-600, 64mb cache
....aaand with these specs I should be able to get the parts i'm aiming for.
as always, sorry for my lame english.
