I have built about 9 of the computers listed below for work. These are for 3DSMAX, CAD, and basically all sorts of other 3D work. So far everyone that has one (unfortunately i don't have one) has absolutely loved the computers. They have also been added to our render farm during none working hours and cut render times down significantly!!! I just wanted to see what people have to say about the builds.
Keep in mind this is about performance and these will not be overclocked, ever! SLI is not an option. The graphics cards have to be NVIDIA, not by my choice (I would try to get a few ATI's) but because that what one of our main partners uses and so that is what we use....
Anyway here is what I have, let me know what you think:
