Yeah but that will cost about $4k or so, right?

adkproaudio.com is awesome.

Why wouldn't you do it yourself? Building a PC is as easy as putting together legos, except.. easier.

Nothing will fit together in a way it is not supposed too.

Because I'd rather just have someone else do it for me.

Fair enough.


The build you linked seems decent enough for the price, but why not get some more RAM since you are using it as a workstation. RAM is cheap and goes along way in a workstation environment.

Really? I thought you of all people was a DIY'er when it came to PC's. You buy pre-built? This makes me sad.

I could build that comp for half that, probably.

Why aren't you using Blackmagic video cards instead of a graphics card?

With that being said, it looks like he has the goods in place to actually be able to take advantage of the faster processor.

Also, don't take that as an insult to your computer knowledge or anything. I just felt the need to make the point.
