| 513872 | 2007-01-08 18:55:00 | Actually just looking at those specs I would have to say that Motokid either has more money than sense or a very rich mommy and daddy who don't mind him spending excessively for gaming for a waaay over specd machine. In terms of hi end DV editing I could get a better performing result for just over $4,500 NZ with a Mac Pro tower plus a 30 inch monitor and still have change. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 513873 | 2007-01-08 19:16:00 | [QUOTE=Motokid600;514400]I plan on Building a Pc close to his setup and wonderd how much it would cost me. ( In American currency please ) /QUOTE] If you want it in US currency why not post on a US site. NZ prices are completely different to US. |

| 513874 | 2007-01-08 20:39:00 | Incidently Weta use Irix and Linux with some Macs for the bulk of their special effects and stuff . Incidentally Microsoft use Windows for all their programming and development and stuff . (or so rumour has it!) :D |

| 513878 | 2007-01-09 06:10:00 | so basically, an american is asking new zealanders to quote some monster machine in american currency, presumably using parts sourced in the states. were he an NZer i'd sugest looking at www.pricespy.co.nz, being an american i'd suggest looking at american shops. it isn't hard, and he might realise the exessive cost of this machine if he hasn't already grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr |

| 513880 | 2007-01-09 11:08:00 | I think the point was what relevance did your comment have? My point was that his dream computer specs were overkill for a PC gaming machine (only my opinion), or, if he was going for a DV editing machine which would be the only reason for needing that much space and configuration for a RAID HD setup with 4GB of RAM in total that he would be better of getting a Mac Pro Tower for 4.5K which would be better suited to DV editing and will also take up to 16GB of RAM (assuming he could afford that much). My final closing comment was that Weta who do all the high end movie editing use Irix or Linux boxes for the task since they are better suited rather than Windows. That is why I was unsure as to the point of Glen's comment about Windows being used for developing since you don't need a super expensive with massive computing power for coding and developing. :confused: |
