Hello
All i use the pc these days is for browsing, listening to music (2TB of FLAC - dac - hifi), utorrent, storage, CAD etc.
I dont game much other than bf2 and its aix mod, and the odd spot of command and conquer red alert 2...
I have an xbox 360 for the latest stuff!
We are doing maya next year and the uni decided to drop the course so with the exception of us (1st years this year) they wont be running any more IT courses. This means that we will be doing maya on c2d machines but no fancy quadro gfx, infact nothing better than onboard with 2gb of ram, and 2 monitors.
This has prompted me to build my own rig for compiling and rendering.
Now with £3k to spend, do i build my own pc rig or just buy a mac pro and then upgrade to 8gb of ram ?
Always fancied OSX but the one button mouse puts me off slightly etc.
Thanks!
