Arrrrgh!!! I FINALLY Got an IT Upgrade!!!
-
Hey everyone,
It's been a zillion years from I posted anything in here!
So much has happened in the last year, for starters, I left my nice cushty job to start my own 3D Visualisation business
and after months of putting it off, I finally got round to organising an IT upgrade, with A LOT of help from one my 3D muckers. Not sure what his username is on here. I'm sure he'll make an appearance on this post!I had a few ups and downs once the new custom built machine arrived, like erm, it wouldn't work!! I had to send it back and they fiddled with the BIOS settings and then returned it. Thankfully, it's now working like a dream.
I can't believe that my computer has two watercoolers! I find that mind blowing!!
It was built by a firm called Scan and they sent me a cool 'before' photo prior to building it. Which had me squealing like a 13yr old Bieber fan.
Anyway, here's a pic I took of the inside, cos us IT geeks like that sort of thing.
I couldn't physically lift the thing, I had to get my Dad to help me. It's an absolute BEAST!
I tested it for the first time today and at the minute I'm doing a comparison with my DELL laptop.
So there's like a 'render off' going on in my house tonight!
In the red corner (ding, ding) is Beastie McBeastface with the following spec:
Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, Intel Xeon Dual CPU E5-2630 v4 @ 2.20GHz, GeForce GTX 980 Ti, RAM 64 GB, 500GB SSD and 2TB Storage Drive.
In the blue corner is DELL Boy, with the following spec:
Windows 7 64 bit, Intel Core i3, RAM 4 GB
If the laptop performs better, I'll go into hiding and never be seen again.
I'll keep you updated!

...Better stay with the old Dell because before you start to annoy over this new black slow box, I´ll come and help you carry that thing into my car´s trunk - I´ll take over the disposal costs then
Wow - impressive machine

Does it come with a electricity generator?
good luck with the new biz

Hey! Haha, thanks for such a generous offer but I think I'll pass
DELL will always have a special place in my heart because I started my 3D journey with him
But Beastie is my new BFF, for sure!Yea, it is pretty impressive, cost me quite a few quid too

I was thinking about the possible increase in my electricity bill today - I must keep an eye on it. Gulp!
Cheers, hopefully Beastie and I will do great things together!
