Mainly for CPU or GPU rendering? What i can say at first sight... a Xeon is not needed, normally overpriced and outdated. And 16GB RAM is definitively not enough. Without knowing the components, it's impossible to say much about this config. But i suppose that at this price everything besides the GPU is more on the cheaper side and the GPU is the most expensive part here. Video cards are still very rare and absurdly expensive atm.. So if you're planning more for CPU rendering, a smaller card than a 3080 TI could be a better choice. There has been announced a 3070 TI with supposedly 16GB for the next months. ( https://www.tomsguide.com/news/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3070-ti-16gb ) On the other hand it's still possible that the offer isn't that bad, if this is a PC from a bigger manufacturer like Dell or HP and they are still getting GPUs at a lower price. But to say anything about it, we need to know the parts. Here is a config that i would choose at the moment in this price range (for CPU rendering): Ryzen 9 5950x - 64GB - 500GB+2TB SSD - RTX 3060 12GB https://skinflint.co.uk/?cat=WL-2345494 and the same with 3080 TI Ryzen 9 5950x - 64GB - 500GB+2TB SSD - RTX 3080 TI 12GB https://skinflint.co.uk/?cat=WL-2345529 Both configurations with 16 cores, 64GB RAM, only SSDs (no mechanical drive), decent board and good CPU cooler, PSU and case. The only difference is the GPU. (Not totally sure regarding the board, i would have to look deeper into it. But at least this one comes with 2x PCIe 4.0 16x (for potential GPU rendering upgrades in the future) and 2x M.2 PCIe 4.0 4x for a second fast M.2 SSD.) For more CPU cores you would need to switch to Ryzen Threadripper, where everything is much more expensive.

Just offer it. I might suggest corner bar. But I dont think it matters much, as to where.

@solo said: I'm always available if you need rendering help. Another Fine renderer!

Oh man, he was hilarious. He was kicked out of dropbox because his (rather huge) texture packs got millions of hits in a couple of days.

ah yes, that's the PMnotifications you get when a new post is approved (only newly registered members). I would say leave the option for admins to email you. This means that if you subscribe to your own topic or you get a PM, you will receive an automated notification. I am too lazy to send you emails (and if I really want, that option cannot really stop me as I have access to your email address). If we want to send out board emails, we now use a reliable, 3rd party service. If we send out something from here, that can only be in case of emergency (like the site hacked and an important warning to everyone to change passwords or similar).
