AutoNewbie Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) OK, it's end of year, need to burn off some cash. Boss says give him options for a new CAD machine. Sooo, say you could spend ~$5K, what would you spec? I need speed, not space. I keep my drawings on NAS. I'd like a SSD for boot/scratch Support for 3 monitors min 12GB RAM Wide data path (64 bit) This will be a Win 7 pro machine Edited November 15, 2011 by AutoNewbie Added specs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
