"For $800-$1000 you can get super fast PC with 20" monitor."
Dude are you shitting me? Yah I guess you CAN buy a 20" monitor for $800...but it's gonna be a piece of shit...I don't understand why some people think like that...it's like those kids that rice their cars...they can't afford a real performace automobile, so they make their piece of shit Civic look like a racecar on the outside and do nothing on the inside....when if they saved just a little more and didn't waste any money on all that glowing bullshit and nylon tape they could probably afford a car that would kill as far as driving goes...like a simple Subaru Impreza.
I guess what I'm tryin to say is that you can get seemingly the same thing for a $1000 or $3000...and it's not just numbers...there are reasons why the thing that costs $3000 costs that much. If you're broke, and this is what you wanna do for a living, get the best shit you possibly can muster cash for so that you can be as productive as possible...that way you'll make that money back in no time. $3000?! Come on! That's a joke, that's a small web contract guys. I agree $3000 is steep if you wanna dick around, surf, and maybe play the ocasional game....but if it's your life, it's a bit different.
...and no you don't design with a PC or a Mac...not even Photoshop or Illustrator...you design with your head. You dont' have shit in your head, it won't matter what's infront of you and what it has installed on it. If you have the will and talent you can design on a fucking Pentium 1 or a Performa.
