I am looking for new folder machine options. Please note, my finances are incredibly tight. But I would like a machine that can deliver at least what my former PS3 was able to (900-1000pts a day) Any ideas? Also take into power consumption. ----
Build a system with an good nVidia graphics card. It doesn't have to the the latest, you could even buy a used one, I bought a refurb I think it was, it was cheap.
Have to head out to work, but maybe in the hardware forum people can suggest a total build for you, and I will join in.
I second signmeuptoo94 's comment. Build something with a decent NVIDIA graphics card. My video card recently died and I bought a 400 series card (I forget which one) for $50ish dollars and it has boosted my ppd by 5000-6000.
