Any computer builders here?
I am looking to build a solid custom workhorse workstation. No games, not even solitaire. Just business software. No bloatware!
Win 10 Pro for Workstations ?
Right now I think the new i10 16 32 threads, or 18 core, 36 threads CPU. Those are supposed to be released soon.
256 Gig RAM, (and expandable to 512 would be nice)
I am thinking the GeForce RTX 2070 8GB video card
A big power supply, and lots of connectors.
I need a full size case, and room for lots of fans.
Fastest boot drive possible, SSD, maybe a pair of drives in a stripe.
A pair of spinning 4TB drives in a mirrored raid for the main work drive, and if there is room a 5 drive RAID for long term storage. I may have to do the RAID on a separate card running the RAID. I want it internal for speed. Network RAIDs are cheap, but slow as heck for huge files.
I need the power for some of the projects we fly. Right now my main computer is working on a project we flew yesterday. It is 4,572 individual images covering 36 square miles. After 20 hours my computer is getting close to the end of step 5 of 15. It will likely take until Friday to be done. And this is not a big project. It was just 2.5 hours over the site.
My computer here only has 32 Gig of ram, and it crashes on the really big projects. We own one computer with 128 Gig of ram, and it took a month to do one project. We keep getting large projects, which is wonderful, but we need to get them churned out faster.
So I am hoping one of you guys has a source for the components for me to build a dream machine. I prefer to build my own, same reason that I work on my own cars.
Any web sites you prefer for component shopping?
