Hi Dave! 
Gotta admit, this is freaking me out! No new versions of SketchUp Make??!!
Say it can't be true!
I opted for a 2017 Macbook Pro by the way! For anyone reading this, I'm still a Windows gal but I had to invest in a Mac for my business!

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

...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
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 
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!

8-) Nice work and I really like the Christmas tree on the right. I have a star like that... maybe I make one for real.
Thank you, it was a RAM hungry scene because of all the displacement but it turned out well That Christmas tree is cool, right?!

Thanks for sharing that Neets. Happy Holidays!
I hope you liked it! Happy Holidays to you too!
I decided to ditch the traditional trappings of Christmas decor and take a walk on the dark side
Hope you like!

It's been a while from I posted anything around here! I've been working on my displacement recently and decided to create a funky, Christmas themed interior.
