luxury watch brands rating image
Ms Spook
I'm looking to get the absolute best I can get. I'm going to school for 2d and 3d animation in Chicago. And I'm lost as to what to get.
I think 3 grand is the best I can go as for price.
Answer
You don't really 3k, with 1.5k you'd have a very good comp.
You'll want
1) good CPU
2) as much RAM as your mobo can fit, probably 16GB ddr3
3) a pretty good graphics card (but no need for top of the line), a workstation graphic card (one specially for graphic rendering) would be better than those made for gaming but more expensive.
CPU: Intel Core i7 2600K or i5 2500k. Depends if the apps you will use take advantage of hyper-threading or not. If you don't use hyper-threading, the i5 is pretty much the same as the i7 and 100$ cheaper. If you DO use hyper-threading, the i7 is much better. Since you seem to have a lot of cash, you might as well go for the i7 if you're not sure.
GPU: I'm not familiar with workstation GPUs so I can't help. If you decide to put a gaming GPU, something like a gtx 560 ti or radeon 6950 would do the job.
Other components: Watch out because stores that sell computers already built usually skimp on the less important components (building your own comp is better..)
PSU: You want one that is rated silver or gold. Skimping on the PSU can damage your computer, and cheap PSUs are noisy.
Case: Don't pick a case for the bling, pick a case that can block sound yet provide good aeration (like fractal design cases)
Fans: Cheap fans make a lot of noise, so buy good ones. (like noctua, and other good brands)
Fan controller: Allows you to make your computer a lot more quiet for cheap.
SSD: For what you plan to do, it is completely unnecessary, luxury really. A good fast one is crucial m4 if you want one anyway.
HHD: You'll want a fast one. Capacity depends on how much stuff you plan to put on the computer. 1TB if you don't have a ton of very large files, 2TB if you do. Cheap HHDs are slow, watch out for the times(speed).
Also, you might want to consider a mac, however I have no knowledge on those so I can't help.

Im a little new in the world of watches and im was wondering how can a teen start his own watch collection.my father say to star small and then passing the year have great watches like rolex and omegas and other kinds.
its this a way to start
Answer
I own over 50 watches now that were made 1893 to recently. You need to study watches, so you know the brands and thus can recognize good deals when you encounter them. I look at "International Watch", "Chronos", "Watch Time", etc. magazines at newsstands and often buy them. I also have some watch almanacs, e.g. "Wristwatch Annual", 1999 to 2011. There are some books you should add to your collection, if you're serious about collecting watches. Look at libraries and bookstores to see what is available in your location. I buy some Japanese, French and German watch mags, for I speak several languages. Look at pawn shops, flea markets, garage sales, estate sales, auctions, etc. as I do all over the country. I've written five basic books about watches with several updated editions of each book. Now, I'm working on the fifth edition of "THE COSTLIEST WATCH BRANDS" for 2012. I finished earlier editions in 1996, 1999, 2002 and 2007. In the third edition, the costliest brands were 1. Breguet, 2. Patek Philippe, 3. Vacheron Constantin. Rolex has placed 18th, 24th, 41at and now 48th for 2012. Omega is a bit cheaper than Rolex. Both brands are what I call lower level luxury brands. Today I'm wearing a Vacheron Constantin "Les Historiques, Ellipse" that cost $10,290 in 1994. In 2011, it would cost $29,300 if it was still made. A couple of years ago, a comparable Rolex "Cellini" cost $8200. Thus, my VC is about 3.5 times costlier than a Rolex of the same type. Yesterday, I wore a Cartier "Santos Dumont" that costs $14,450 in 2011 or about 1.8 times more than a similar Rolex. Rolex is over-rated. It spends $47 million a year on advertising in the USA, so everyone had heard of it. There are much better brands. My book tells about that.
At a little hole in the wall store in the wino area of San Francisco (on Market between 6th and 7th Sts.), I saw a Jaeger-LeCoultre 1950s "Memovox". I had just looked at some on Sutter St. that cost $2500-$3000. It was in better shape. I asked the price and almost drooled when the man told me $200. I tried to make it seem he was besting me. I bought it and took it to Shapur the JLC dealer in SF to order a leather strap with buckle that cost $250 in 1996- more than the watch. Now, a new watch like it costs $9600, and I have $450 in it. You should study as I have, so that you can recognize such great deals as this one. I can tell about others too.
