    Rebuilding 2 old systems

    Thanks I just added the Dell XPS 600 and Dell Dimension E521 Drivers to the Dell Inspiron 8600 Installation Disk that also had my Acer Aspire E700 SATA drivers from a previous install. Then I made a snazzy CD label :D I can't wait to play with the SLi on the XPS system

    Yup looks like it's a scsi http://www.scsisource.com/scsi_adapters/ Never knew they made HD's like that. The rest of the drives connected to the MB were IDE.

    $1000 Budget - For 3D Rendering Machine.

    Nah I'm fine with 3 gigs, I usually see my usage fall between 400-900 MB. True about Zbrush though, more ram and you can up the detail. I was looking for newer prebuilt systems but I've been seeing that some don't offer 32bit driver support. Will I run into that problem building my own system...

    Video Editing Software

    Final Cut Pro is too good to give up on, try harder and get that puppy installed :D hell, it was the only reason I'd ever consider getting a MAC. Besides FCP I've used Adobe After Effects 5 thru 7 and they do okay but I'm sure anyone using them would get a lot more out of the more recent version.

    $1000 Budget - For 3D Rendering Machine.

    Looking to buy a single processor Motherboard, 3-4gigs ram, Processor + cooling, I don't care about noisy fans. Maybe a new case, tall, black, and simple. No need for fancy windows and such, basically the Monolith from "2001", "2010" on my desk. I have Hard Drives and a graphics card Sadly I...

    TPU's own 3D renders

    I didn't render that out very large, but I'll see if I still have that scene saved on my computer and do a larger render.
