Well I am out dated in so many respects lol

So I actually have enough $ to build a render box; dedicated rendering comp. I'm going for a fast i7 and 32gig. Not worried about the rest; maybe SSD, But want to keep it below $600.

This comp is my online gaming rig. 3 year old refurbished discontinued, upgraded Gateway. i5 3.0. 8 gig but expanding to 24, and a GTX1050.

Plan on transferring all 120gig of content by removing the HDD with all of it on it lol Just drop it in the new rig. Now I'd love to do a render farm but $600 would turn in to 3K fast O.O And I can't get it for the old copy of Carrara I use. Not sure how or even if carrara/studio work as well together as the copies I have.

Not sure if I'll get back in to this though. One of the reasons I gave it up was losing my comp for a day or two to a render. The other part was DAZ frustrated the motivation right out of me. Even after all this time my opinion of DAZ has not changed.

Some thing like https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIADT25S96866 and 2X https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233585
