Speccing a machine for work use, so I can retire my current one to be a render slave and hopefully get a good speed boost in 3DSMax, Photoshop and AE.
Is there anything obviously out here? Would I benefit from having 2x2TB M2 drives, or is one 4TB better? Thinking of bandwidth when rendering from AE, though I'm not totally clear on how that works under the hood and whether there's other bottlenecks involved.
As stated previously I have no clue about cooling, the PC specialist options are limited anyway.
Plan is to hook the render slave up to this (server) via direct connection in order to bypass all the network traffic, so I may need to get seperate network card.
