Caltrops - American McGee's Honda Civic





	[quote name="E. L. Koba"]So I'm putting together a new development workstation. Originally I was just going to build a cheap box with dual monitors that was fine for coding, but I realized I'll now be needing to run SQL Server, Sharepoint, and that other crap, and probably some virtual machines, so I can debug properly. So I started over with a beefier machine. Then, figured that since it'll be a decent computer I might as well slap in strong video card and get a good gaming computer out of it. Here's what I got so far: <ul><li><a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128375">GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD3R</a></li><li><a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115202">Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz</a></li><li><a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227365">OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3</a> (this in the assumption that "triple-channel" is like the old dual channel and you'll get the best performance with 3 of the same)</li></ul> Video card - I've gotten too lazy to do the research on. Seriously - could they just come up with some sort of consistent numbering system? Dual monitor out is a must (both DVI would be nice). Cases - is Antec still any good? I'll probably get one of those.[/quote]
