| p.1 #1 · Computer System Upgrade: Im in Namibia | |
Greetings from the edge of the map:
I’m based in a tiny town at the edge of the Namib Desert in Central Namibia; I have a fine studio, ample subject matter and a decent albeit small business. With the growth of the business I have outstripped my computer system.
Currently I have:
Asus P5Q Deluxe
Intel Q9550 2.8GHz
8GB Ram
NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT
5 internal SATA Drives
2 External 8.5TB combined
Dual Monitors
I am traveling to Germany next week and know that there is a district in Berlin where discount components are available. Nothing is cheap here, and worse good stuff is hard to find.
So my general question is this:
I want to upgrade, MOBO, CPU, Ram to near current top of the line. I don’t care if it’s AMD or Intel.
I want to have a 1TB C drive, 1-2TB internal for music, 2-3TB internals for working image drives, one dedicated to Lightroom the other as a main library drive. I then want to have 12TB external, I have enclosure that is just a bunch of Drives that will 4 3TB drives, but it will not be a raid set.
I would like to keep my NVIDIA card.
Is there any reason why I can't use VGA compliant 28" Samsung HiDef LCD TV's as monitors? They are readily avialable and not horrible expensive.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I have lost the plot on current gear.
