Pedro you are the man!
Thank you very much, I will get this pc as soon as I start driving buses. And of course, I will continue research and take in any other advice, if anybody else posts.
By the way, in today's day and age of
everything being a portable mass storage device, I'll be good with my m33 psp, iPod, flash drive, remote desktop, external HDD. I had to list them because, this is the 2000's man. and I won't be repairing XP with my 40 floppys.
Pwnzilla, I realize that there are differences, but this is primarily a gaming machine, and any CAD activities will be done when I'm to busy to get to the campus labs (all nighters). I'll be using MATLAB the most for work on this PC. So I should be good. If I ever really
need a workstation PC, I'll better have a sponsor.
I checked out the links you sent, thanks for your input. Knowledge is contagious.
