I know I need something big and powerful but that's as far as it goes.
I need the machine for desktop publishing and graphics work using Photoshop CS2 and Illustrator.
There would be multiple copies of both open, each with multiple files open. Files would be hundreds of mb, multiple layers, full undo history.
Quality, reliabilty and speed come before price, and I want it to have a decent lifespan, but don't want to pay mad money if I can help it. :rolleyes:
I could get my local pc shop to build something but I would be afraid they would bung loads of high spec components into a box with no real testing. I went this way for some low-spec office machines before and boy did they suck, so I'm thinking of a brand name for this specialised machine maybe?
Or if I could get a list of stuff that anyone has had experience of and knows will work well together I'd go for that...
So,
Board =
CPU =
Memory =
Storage =
Graphics =
TFT =
Case etc =
Anything else I've missed?
I also need a full-colour A3 printer.
Suggestions greatfully accepted...
