Acer Desktop Pcs
I need a PC to do the following: Architectural design, photos, etc. www What's the best for these activities? Ta
I am thinking of getting involved in architecture, Council planning and design as a one man band. My drawing skills are not too fantastic and I have a new PC. Beyond this I want to store pictures and music. What are the ideal specifications for a PC or laptop so I can do my job. What are the best machines out at the moment and if someone else is involved in the same thing, which is the recommended software to work with architectural drawings showing plans and layouts, etc. I almost bought an Acer 5601 on Monday, but was shut down by poor graphics and software package lightweight. Now thinking about desktop. Good seeing for Mesh, Eclipse, Fujitsu-Siemens PCs and Evesham. I really not want to spend much money for something that really is not up to the job mechanically or not is a good machine. Many thanks Cheers
NO NO Get a Mac! They are a waste of money in this case. They are machines for home entertainment, with little processing power and a limited amount of software for it. Windows XP is a must. I agree with the User who said you could use a decent processor for handling design and graphics packages and a decent sized hard drive (depending on the amount of photos / music you want to store, go to (preferably none) between 150GB and 200GB and certainly no less than 100GB). It can also be a good idea to invest on a large monitor (19 "ideally) and a graphics tablet possible (this is optional and depends on your needs). Plotters are also used in place of printers by professional architects / designers, but if you are just starting outside the home, a good inkjet or laser printer (if you want to print a lot, lasers are cheaper to maintain (ie, buying toner), but have a cost initial high. Inkjets are initially cheaper than laser printers, the overall cost of ink are costs to maintain). A good quality optical mouse (preferably wireless to leave the cable getting in the way and generally p * ssing off) is crucial, any old keyboard will do. Sound is not very important if you want to play some hardcore games with all the 3D sounds. Even for video cards, you certainly do not have one of the top-spec ones that both processing that require an additional fan: they are for gamers. A good quality scanner is also a good idea if you do graphic / design work: trust me, you will find a use for it. Alternatively, an all-in-one printer / scanner / copier could be a good option for you: saves desk space, allows you to print his drawings, scanning other designs, and copy your designs / designs to other people. You also want to make sure there is room for an adapter network or USB slots enough for you can also have a broadband connection to the Internet for any research you need to do to its design. I apologize if you just wanted me to indicate the name of a PC that suites your needs, and I instead listed everything I needed. If you want to save a little money, you would not want to go to a major brand like Dell (which I personally advise you to avoid any way: they are not updated / Expandable and there are rumors of poor customer support), but saying that you would not want to go to some little scamming company that makes computers of low quality. Go for a brand that is heard but not massive.
