Alright, I messed up the poll, but here was my question. I am shopping for a new computer, I have a reasonable budget of around $3,000 American. I want a screamin machine, optimized for graphics and cad, and to include firewire and dvd burning. I also like the idea if multiple monitors, would like to run my four 21" monitors, but don't know how a quad head card stacks up againt the duallys as far as cost vs performance. I am capable of building my own, but don't know what the cost savings would be, and don't know if it would be worth it to not have a warranty that would allow me to blame things on other. As mentioned in another post, I am toying around with the thought of one of those mini portables, or alienware style laptop, but don't know if I can get the same machine for the money. If I save enough money, then I can get a Wacom cintiq tablet.
So here is my question, if you could get any computer today (within my budget) what would it be, and more importantly, why? Thanks tons I am very confused. :?
