I've taken an interest in the custoMac mATX budget, I've looked around on my favourite dutch webshop, for computer parts, the only change I made wes a different case (Aerocool Qx-2000, thought it looked cool and has enough room for drives imo). the price was around €551 for the system which seems reasonable
Before I checked the recommendation list for graphics cards, I assumed that I would have had to use a AMD graphics card... since I'm no fan of the brand, I was relieved to see you recommend nVidia GPU's
I'm still not sure whether or not I am going through with a build, but seeing as I can make a base system which is more powerful than my 2011 iMac 27" at nearly 1/4th of the cost is a huge relief
One thing I wonder however, is: Will I be able to add a new graphics card later on and will it automatically work, or will I have to re-install the OS / run multibeast? I have read that using multiple GPU's works without any problems, so that's always nice for future reference
I do want to know however, if this improves speed with iMovie
