IVIYTH0S Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Video software: right now, I'm only using Sony Vegas. But both my brother and I are into digital drawing as well, and I'm looking into a Wacom Cintiq 24HD. I don't know all the software I'll be using with it, but I don't want any nasty surprises, you know? I appreciate the build suggestions. I don't know if y'all realize just how helpful all of this is to me. I do need more than 1tb of storage, though, so I'd probably forgo the sound card for now and increase storage to 4tb which, once I get everything organized, and including the storage I now have, should give me around 10tb of storage. I'm going to have to add more storage pretty quickly, so whatever system I build needs to be able to handle a RAID setup (probably just RAID 0). But overall, you guys have given me a lot to think about, and I appreciate it. If you have more suggestions or comments, I welcome them! In that case Here's a nice 4TB:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822178338&clickid=zWvySE1O80PbyuNxfnR942k9UkT10mXseWBbVs0 I have the older 2TB cousin of this (aka 5900RPM) and it kicks ass and isn't slow at all! Running strong at almost 3 years in one more month! Edited January 6, 2014 by IVIYTH0S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormhawk31 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Oh. I forgot to mention that my OS will be Windows 7 Ultimate (I won't have a touchscreen, so I feel no need to switch from an OS I like to one that, to me, seems...ugh). Also, If anyone has any suggestions for full tower cases, that'd be nice as well. I like smooth, sleek, no frills cases, preferably black, with good cable management, good airflow, and plenty of expansion slots. I HATE all the ribbed, finned, super fancy, added onto, and IMHO, UGLY modern cases out there. Understated and stylish. That's what I like. Coolermaster had a really nice HAF case that I liked, but I can't seem to find it anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolermaster had a really nice HAF case that I liked, but I can't seem to find it anymore. I love Windows 8 (haven't tried 8.1), and if you install Classic Shell (free) it makes it look and function like Win7 but it's zippier and there a lot of nice enhancements. The only problem that I wasn't able to fix was GTA 4 wouldn't install on it, but other than that no incompatibilities discovered. I'm also a fan of the HAF cases, the 912 is a sweet deal.....Though the Zalman Z12+ is probably my favorite bang for buck case, since it has USB 3.0 ports and is aggressively priced!

Hyper Threaded Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Have a look at the Antec P280 and the Fractal Design range of cases. No stupid bulges or anything that looks "gamer." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
