wow thanks for the info! I will try out both. One more question, what is the "landing zone" and what size drive or partition do I need for the OS?
Oh and what are the advantages of using a NIC card? What does that do?
Alright, I want to make my first media server. Its going to be made from the parts in my gaming rig since I don't play many games anymore. It would be shared by other PC's in my house, but I'd also like it to be accessible outside of my network. I am a total newbie when it comes to servers but...
+1 on the studio 17, Ive got one and its great for my work ( CAD, VIS, 3Dmax and adobe) I've got the model with a 8100 Intel and 3GB of mem. Big hard drive too, cant go wrong!
I bought my studio 17 from delloutlet about a month ago and it has performed like a champ. Got it for $900 with 3GB of ram, T8100, 256 ATI graphics, 250 GB storage and bluetooth. I would recommend going with an outlet lappy.
To make your file size smaller you could go to print and select pdf as the printer and print the file to a pdf. Also, to edit smudges and such couldn't you just open the file with PS, make a new layer and use the brush tool?
I would agree with woken and look at 24". I recently got my V2400W and am very happy with the size. Coming from a 17" it is a welcomed change in size. IMO bigger is better:p
