Kruziik_Kel Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 So what do you all think is the bigger waste of money (using USD here was sent to me by an american friend) so overkill it would explode http://pcpartpicker.com/p/iwIN or such a bad PC it would explode on boot http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ivuc (NOTE those HDD's would be in raid 0) id say the horrible one was more of a waste I imagine most of you would say the same just curious Quote
Xylord Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Honestly, you can't even FIT ten 70" monitors in one room. Quote
xxmikegigsxx Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Why do you need more than three monitors(three is pushing it)? Both are completely illogical purchases. I'll say the first because that much power going it to it would fry it quickly. Quote
Xylord Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Thought it would be funny to actually build the computer OF MY DREAMS. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ixDI Ended up at only $4800. :D Quote
GreenWolf13 Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 I can think of some people who might beed more than three moniors: Youtubers and Pro Gamers Youtuber Monitor 1: Game they are recording (full screen) Monitor 2: Control panel for recording (fraps, sound settings, skype/teamspeak[may go on monitor 3]) Monitor 3: Chat (teamspeak/skype chat, irc, livestream comments) Monitor 4: Game Wiki or Walkthrough, Adventure map instructions, etc.. (non chat text) Pro Gamer Monitor 1: Game they are playing Monitor 2: Skype/Teamspeak (chat) Monitor 3: Wiki or other browser based text (irc if not on second monitor) Monitor 4: Steam or other digital distribution platform Some of these could probably be condensed down, but a pro gamer and a youtuber are both people who can use 3 or more screens.

xxmikegigsxx Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Any youtuber I watch uses two monitors. Game and recording software/publishing. Pro gamers need one. Skype can be on the same screen in the background and steam doesn't need to be open, but can be open in the background. At 70" they wouldn't need to monitors for the game. Quote

Two hooked up to my main desktop and then my iMac has a huge other one. Other than that I just have my laptop. I only really use my desktop for is gaming and of course movies and REDDITING! Anyway just so you know I worked for all that shit. I even remember the price alltogether. It was around 9,400 dollars for all (excluding the laptop). Quote

Since xylord brought it up, my dream computer would cost just under 3,500 usd ( don't hate on me, but this would be a Mac) Quote

Although my laptop can run minecraft easily with medium settings at 180 fps, I use my gaming computer. Why you ask? Because my laptop can't record nor run JC2... Quote
xxmikegigsxx Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Well currently I play games on my MacBook Air. It works perfectly fine and this was the "computer of my dreams" so I just did a beefy iMac. The only limitations are games that aren't Mac ported, but I'll usually already have those for a console. I just find Macs much easier to use and I grew up using them, except for school and if I was at someones house. To Mrfly: I did miss that part, but I'm still wondering what that third monitor is for.

SimpleGuy Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 Graphic designers need more than one monitor, seeing a model from different angles constantly tends to be better. Quote
MrFly Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 Graphic designers need more than one monitor, seeing a model from different angles constantly tends to be better. And that just so happens to be what I partly do. I think of it more of a hobby. Creating youtube intros and making templates and things. Easy and fun money. Quote
NightKev Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 Succumbing to peer pressure, I made this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ixOO Er, not sure that 300W PSU would actually power that thing. Quote
MrFly Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 Er, not sure that 300W PSU would actually power that thing. A nuclear generator couldn't even run that shit. Quote
GreenWolf13 Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 Er, not sure that 300W PSU would actually power that thing. Why not? The expected wattage is like 280, so why wouldn't a 300w PSU run it? (I am completely ignorant of how the inside of a computer works, I'm a software guy, not a hardware guy.) Quote
Jorcer Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Graphic designers need more than one monitor, seeing a model from different angles constantly tends to be better. Architects as well for the same reason. Quote
ampayne2 Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Architects as well for the same reason. And also any type of engineer because almost every engineering field uses computer aided design Quote
Jorcer Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 And also any type of engineer because almost every engineering field uses computer aided design Ya but he knows that because he is an engineer ;) Quote
GreenWolf13 Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Ya but he knows that because he is an engineer A nuclear one at that! Quote
Jorcer Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 A nuclear one at that! Is he really? I just meant his avatar Quote
