I already have a nice monitor!

looking around there are some for a lot less then $1,500! Remember I don't need anything too fancy, really appreciate this Liam!

L i am

I sent you a link that one would b fine. I am assuming you have no plans to render

Joe Wood

No I don't do any rendering.

Joe Wood

wow not even $500! Why did I wait so long! This looks good but what do I know!

L i am

I would consider getting a second monitor.

Joe Wood

Hey Liam I have another favor to ask. That one you linked is good enough you said but I can afford $1,000 for this. Can you find me a better one? Or is that one good enough?

foe some reason $500 sounds too cheap but what do I know.

I'd start here Joe. I wish it had a 1 TB hard drive but it might be good enough with 512 GB.

Darn Glenn that one's out of stock, what do you guys think about this one, it has a NVidia card is all I can say about it, 1 Tb HD, and 32gb ram

Wow, that sold out fast. That Dell at Amazon will work just fine but for same $$ you can get a 13th gen i7

Joe Wood

if so how much better? I just ordered this one but can stop delivery I hope.

Joe Wood

so what does everyone say, get the one Glenn last linked or keep the one I ordered??

Glenn at home

For the same $$ the one I listed is better. How much better?

Considerably better in my opinion, for the same $$.

Joe Wood

Right on Glenn thanks for the good advice and insight!

Best of luck with which ever decision you go with. I just bought a new Dell XPS 8950 for work and I love it! Mine was a bit over $3k but it has to last for 4-5 years. It runs all my applications with ease. Specs are listed under my posts.
