Guys,
got to build 6 new cad pc's. I've had a thread about this before, but that was to do with what gpu to get.
This is asking for your opinions on whether to use SSD or mechanical SATA drive.
Most work is held on a server, so storage capacity isn't an issue.
Uses: AutoCad 2012, Adobe CS5.5 suite, sketchup and possibly some 3d modelling
Already built a rig with i7-3930, 16gb ram, OCZ MAXIOPS 120gb ssd and all seems fine. Let down a bit by the nvidia 600 gpu i think though.
Our existing cad rigs all have the nvidia 600 cards in, but other than that are ad-hoc builds based on i5 or i7, with varying amount of ram and SSD's which were cheap at the time. Some have matx boards too
Thinking of building the new ones with the quadro 2000 this time round.
Your opinions please? (mainly on the SSD and GPU choices)
