I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this, so sorry in advance. I had the idea of the production staff of LTT doing a series on how they do things like set up their cameras and wire hosts for sound in detail. I know they do some of this but i would like to see more because I am currently a student and should know how to do most of it in theory... but don't have the resources or the caliber of equipment that LMG has. its just a thought so... yah, have a nice day.

Ok thanks for your help

@fasauceome Ok, thanks for the advice

My friend wants to get into PC gaming, and I told her i would help her. She hoping to game at around 1080p high settings with games like overwatch, and skyrim. The good thing is i have some parts to give her, i already have an I7-4790, 32gb of ddr3 ram, and an ASUS z-97 pro motherboard. They are pretty good parts and im hoping that will take a big bite out of the cost. I have 2 budget saving ideas both with down sides. 1. Use this parts list I created (the cheaper custom set prices are from estimates i found on ebay) The down side of this parts list is the price is higher than id like it to be.

Use an old Dell Optiplex My idea is to buy an old Optiplex like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Optiplex-7020-Intel-i3-4130-3-50GHz-8GB-500GB-Windows-10-Pro-b/292799290287, Then replace the processor and the ram with the stuff i have. Thus saving money on windows,a case and power supply. Then the problem is I dont know if i can put a decently powerful card in the system, or how to clone the boot drive it already has so i can use a low end ssd. Bringing my total cost to around $320 ish dollars. Any help and cost cutting measures are greatly appreciated.

I know this thread is old... but im not quite sure what you asking. However if this is any help to you Keyshot uses Exclusively the CPU to render and would not do well with an I3,you need something with a higher core and thread count for instance the machines my school uses to render have Nvidia quadro k4200's(comparable GPU to yours), 16gb of ram, and finally an Intel Xeon E5-1650 v3 with 6 cores and 12 threads where as even the highest I3's have on 4 cores and 4 threads. the machines i use are ok but cannot render efficiently at 4k so I do not believe your proposed configuration would be that great at rendering in keyshot.

Beats me

That might be it thanks

I had that same thought but would that make sense, because Ram memory is different than graphics memory physically

16gb is installed in the system

Hi, I was in CADD class and we are using some nonstandard version of the HP z440 Workstation, so naturally the first thing I tried to do was find the specs and the GPU came up as being a Nvidia Quadro K4200 with 12206Mb or 12gb of memory but this card on the consumer level only comes with 4gb,am I missing something? Could it be that im just reading the GPU memory wrong? Any insight is appreciated.

Not my best work but it only took like 5 min so...

I go to school for Interactive Media (3D/2D animation,graphic design, and video editing), and my class uses extremely under-powered and outdated computers that can barely run the programs we use. Recently my Prof. bought 2 HP workstations for around 1900 a pop and he does not have the money to replace all the work stations... so my idea was to build a custom server for running about 25 VM's at once, each VM Connecting through a Thunder bolt 2 or 3 pass through and a Elgato Dock or something similar(like linus does in his house). Each server so far in theory (im willing to change the specs), would be 2- AMD Epyc 760, Western Digital Black 4tb hdd, 4- Nividia Quadro P6000, and 1tb wd Blue ssd (for boot drive), and im still undecided for the mobo and ram;and some risers and thunderbolt 2 or 3 expansion cards. Im trying to make it cheaper than just buying 25 new workstations, so do you guys think this setup will work?

Thank you all for your reply's and help, i know i was offline for months; sorry about that.

Hi all, I currently have a apple 2012 Mac mini and I'm using it as a server,but I want to start to set up a personal rack mounted server to store data on but I have no idea how to got about that... any help would be appreciated. I would also like to know if it is possible to run 10gb transfer speeds to a server thats running on a regular home router and how I should connect a server to a network. Thanks for all you help I know I'm probably asking dumb questions but I'm server illiterate.
