Loki3000,
A desktop is what I started looking at, but I'm working with an out of town shop and will need to be portable.
I have a 20" monitor on my current system and might see if I can limp along with it for a while....our might use it as a 2nd monitor.
I'll look into other CPU options.
Thanks
Ok...One more time and I'll try to put this to bed.
I spec'd out a Dell M4800 mobile workstation (would love M6800 but that's getting really pricy)
Tell me if I've made any poor choices or if I don't need this robust of a workstation.
Comes in at $2500 + 24" monitor & Keyboard...
Thanks SBauch,
I finally figured out how to fully customize on Dell's site...
Pretty much had settled on Nvida K2000,Xeon E5-1620 with 16 GB Mem and found a refurbished one on Dell Outlet that might save me some dollars.
Then this came up...
A friend that runs a shop has lost his CAD/CNC...
Hercalloy,
Thanks for the reply.
By "image quality" I was meaning how well it will render images. The had the Photoworks option (can't remember what they call it now). Wasn't sure how the card would perform if I try to do some photorealistic rendering.
You think the i7 4790 is a better...
New to eng-tips....
Needing to replace my older workstation so I can get SW upgraded. I'm a one-man home shop user of SW so I don't need, or can afford, a top of the line system. Some of my work is simple stuff, but I do some injection mold modeling that can be fairly complex.
Of most concern...
