The end of seti@home classic meant one thing to me, I would lose rank in the group when the heavy guns moved in to boinc and got to work. I may be able to stall the end with the impending purchase of a new box.
Yes this year I get to spend my hard earned cash from slaving away in the saltmine as a refund from fed taxman. This translates into about 2.5k--3k to spend on a spanking brand new machine.
My wifes machine (1.5ghz Athlon Thunderbird) will become a tiny slow webserver, she gets mine (Athlon XP running just over 2ghz).
I have not even looked around for what to look for in a new box. My requirements are sli capable (get vid card #2 a little later) and mem....I have digital audio mixing needs (cool edit pro is my tool of choice) that requires considerations for this machine. A start to that solution would be SB Audigy Pro as the audio card, though have not looked for other cards that might be able to handle multiple analog inputs which is what I really want but is probably outside my budget= A Single Midtower case with couple 200+ gig HD and enough ram to buffer to allow it to simultaneous capture and record (@48k sample) a minimum of 24 tracks of mono audio.
Any ideas you have to point me in the right place or suggestions as what look for outside the dream "studio in a box" for about 2.5k-3kish would be appreciated.
What ever I wind picking up will be running boinc and up my RAC, it will of course be faster than what I have now.
That will keep me far ahead of that founder of the blue plague AJTK!!!
It was starting to bother me, a green blooded romulan, would be passed by one of those of the vile Federation, especially a known war criminal and threat to galactic stability and prosperity as those of the blue plague.
