What's your budget? Don't use a 42" TV, the resolution sucks. It's 1920x1080 on a 42" screen when most 22" monitor will provide that resolution. I have a 30" monitor for editing that's 2560x1600 resolution. You're worried about viruses? I haven't had one since...well, never.

I've got a couple sites that might change your virus tune. I just got rid of an annoying redirect virus last week. all it takes is accidently clicking an add on youtube or facebook. In my case stupid friend opened up a blank email.

And I'm not dumb enough to visit those sites or let my friends use my computer.

You're not dumb enough to go to youtube or facebook.

27" iMac
3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7

8GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB

256GB Solid State Drive

2TB Serial ATA Drive

AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB GDDR5

It gets the job done.


Once you go Mac you never go back.

I'm so jealous of your guys system. I have a 2g ram and 100gb hdd laptop. Sony vaio

Then get a new one. Easily build one for about $350 or so.

AMD Phenom X4 840 3.2ghz with Asus mother board - $110
4gb Rams -$40
Case - $30
Power supply - $30
Cheap 1gb Videocard - $50 or less
HD - 2tb - $80

There, your computer should last for at least 3 years or more depending how much high tech new programs and files are in the future. Just don't play the latest games or OC the Cpu.

Buck passed again.

Derrel, add this to your tally.

Kbarreddo, do yourself a favor. Buy yourself a copy of Eset Smart Security. Dump ALL other forms of Antivirus / Anitmalware. You wont need it any more. Eset is awesome. I have used it for 5 years and I do things that try to give me viruses/trojans etc etc all the time and I have only gotten one in like 5 years of using Eset. It is super easy on your system, they push out at least one update per day sometimes as many as 5 a day. Each update is only about 45kb and takes only seconds to download even using a 56k connection. You will actually see a huge performance gain from dumping those other resource hogging anti-programs.

If you are seriously considering building a new system I would be willing to build you one for free. If you are interested just PM me and we can chat.

Virus? never had one. my secret.....Spybot search and destroy (modify your host files and enter pretty much every black listed ip address/network and its updated frequently., malwarebytes (block/scan/remove pretty much everything) and registry mecanics (rebuilt your registry if anything happens)

these software consume basically no memory, are effective and up to date
