Morning listers, Am seeking suggestions (quotations also welcome) for a machine that can renders faster than an iMac and with a good fan to cool. Laptop/desktop will do. Me thinks dell alien ware but am open to all opinions and ideas Regards, Samuel
What about using a cloud service and paying by the hour? For 47Kshs you can get a quad core machine with 15GB of RAM on Kili: http://kili.io/ For now it's free actually (if you know how to operate Ubuntu or CentOS from the cli). -Adam -- Kili - Cloud for Africa: kili.io Musings: twitter.com/varud <https://twitter.com/varud> More Musings: varud.com About Adam: www.linkedin.com/in/adamcnelson On Tue, Apr 8, 2014 at 1:35 PM, Samuel Mwangi <samuel@isolve.co.ke> wrote:

@Adam thanks for your suggestion. I obviously can use Ubuntu on CLI but I doubt the intended users (the designers would). @Chris: will get in touch. More ideas n quotes are still welcome. The iMac just freezes n while rendering and we want to give the designers machines that "freezes less" and will not melt :-).

@samuel I think the idea would be that you set up the server and the designers drop jobs into the queue via a web services or folder share. @kris Mac Pro is definitely the best solution for somebody with $3k :-) -- Kili - Cloud for Africa: kili.io Musings: twitter.com/varud <https://twitter.com/varud> More Musings: varud.com About Adam: www.linkedin.com/in/adamcnelson On Wed, Apr 9, 2014 at 12:29 PM, kris njoroge <krsnjo@gmail.com> wrote:
