I have to get a new computer/setup for a design/desktop pub position. The check is blank, and they don't know anything about computers or design...
what are your suggestions
- jevad0
dual G5
- Casio_Nova0
Keep in mind that even with a blank check, you won't want to flat-out rip them off.
So you're best bet is to NOT buy a MAC, which perhaps may be what you would lean to.
Buy a great PC for much less, and get them a good color printer, scanner, all else.

LaCie 19 blue. Extra ATI Video card.

A Dual G5 isn't outragiou$. Now an SGI would be outragious.

Screw, that and screw Casio_Nova Dual G5, Epson 1280, scanner and a laptop so you can design on the go!
