Member Posts: 11 OS: XP	I think it would be an interesting topic... first of all, the question would be what is better: to try to build a super CAD computer or to buy one? I know that there are dedicated game computers, or dedicated media computer, no dedicated CAD ones - and I mean with CAD not just AutoCAD, but the most complex like Catia, Unigraphix, etc. So, shall we start with ideas/advices? Waiting for your opinions... Donnis
