Griswold -> Help me please!!!!!! (3/15/2007 4:32:56 PM)

(Sorry for the tease lead in but...I really do need some help).

I want to build a totally awesome, killer, beyond known experience computer....for my house.

Now, to assist those that want to help me....I have a really big house.  I'd like to build a computer that I can do anything I'd want to do (I occasionally work from home...and a lot of what I do has to do with images/graphics...and I'd like to be able to do some video stuff....build some corporate videos and such....without, during the process...having the thing strangle itself).

Currently I have 56k dial up (don't assume that my current available ISP is a function of my ability....I've been trying to get broadband up here for years)....6 gigs down, 784k down will be on my doorstep within 90 days (they assure me).

Any thoughts?

Here's what I have so far;

4 gigs ram
2 Hard drives....each 750 Gigs.  10,000 rpms.
Vista (Top end)
Microsoft Office (Top end)
Top end video card
1000 watt or better power supply
Backup power supply (equal power)
Cooling as needed (prefer not to be water...if required, acceptable)
6 USB minimum
TV in and out
NIC
Wireless
Battery backup to accomodate appropriate cooling and power down
Chip: At least 2 chips, dual core...more if Vista and my applications can use (consider video needs...see Jon), preference: AMD....Intel if advantage is significant....64, regardless of brand
Whatever the latest and greatest is for sound (ability to push the music out), that, plus the next if available (see power supply)

yes- there is a router- you can plug sister computers into it. my buddy has 4 running off of one.

never rely on just one computer.  they are disposable these days. obsolete w/in 6 mos.

a buddy redid my best computer with all the best spyware. the thing is so slow it is pointless. so ill use my laptop- till i blow it up, then reosrt to his slow version.

hackers get in. if they broke banks and the govt- they can hack jane doe.

a word of adive BACK up ur im portant files on memory sticks. they are the size of a stick of gum. I have 1 gig- 2 gig, 8 gig, on a key chain. if there is a fire- just grab my keys and im good. see?
