Hey everyone I wanted to lay this out for you and maybe get some info and feedback. I'm about to Graduate and I'm getting a new Power Mac G5 as a present. I majored in Sculpture with an emphasis in interactive media. I use Maya, Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator, Final Cut, DVD Studio Pro, and Dreamweaver. So I need a powerful system. I'm looking at these.
PM G5 Dual 2.3Ghz or 2.7Ghz
Cusomize it with
400GB HDD
Airport Extreme
Bluetooth
56k modem just because I might want phone features later
Possibly the wireless keyboard
I want to get the ATi X800 XT 256MB card if not the other ATi Card with 256MB. It suck that the X800 is not a BTO option.
I will buy an extra 1GB memory elsewhere.
Looking at the 23" HD Cinema Display
iSight
Apple Care 3 year plan
I need a 3 button mouse for Maya
I found one I like the logictech MX 1000 laser wireless mouse
I have had a Powerbook for 5 years so I also need speakers.
I found Logitech X-230 2.1 Speakers. Save the 5.1 for later.
I will also need a desk. Any thoughts on this would be great. Also I don't like the idea of having to take out a brand new graphic card to put in another one but I need the newer card. Is there any news on a new card coming soon. I add the card now because I'm getting everything else now. There is so much I need I couldn't even try to swing for the 30 inch even though I nearly drooled when I first saw it. I can always add it a year later or more. I still have some software I need to buy but that is all me.
