Upgrades - New Production Computer - New LCD TV
Dec 3rd, 2007 | By Justin Kaiser | Category: @ Latest News from Justin KaiserI picked up a new computer from Tiger Direct in Naperville, IL on Thursday. I’d been struggling to get by with a workstation that started suffering from serious issues a few weeks ago. With that in mind I had done enough shopping around to determine that I could get a decent refurbished workstation for less than I could build it for.
Here is what I ended up getting… http://www.gateway.com/retail/gm5472.php
I payed under $450 for the machine and added an additional 2 gig of DDR2 RAM to the box for $9.99 a stick. Not a bad price.
With that in mind, this is an Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core and has plenty of power to run the Adobe CS3 suite of products like Audition 3 and Photoshop CS3.
I’m seriously looking into the Mackie Onyx Satellite and an M-Audio Sputnik mic as the next major investment.
Oh, and the money I saved by not getting the Quad Core monster… I bought a 32 in HD LCD… yeah, Diana was NOT pleased.
So far, so good
