If you don't feel the need for it, then don't worry. I worked on 2gb+ files on an i7 macbook air 11" from 2012 without issues. Mac pro is not exactly a long term investment, OS support could be dropped, and it is picky about hardware

Depends on how much Ram you stick in it. Do not get the 1.1 and 2.1 will require smbios hacks to run anything recent. 3.1 is pretty much the only option if you are not very computer literate. So an 3.1 with 16gb of ram would be pretty fast for regular photo needs.

Godaddy is considered pretty horrible in the world of designers and developers, and they are misogynistic dbags. If you really want to have pay once and have 'unlimited' resources and get mediocre hosting, there are various places you can get it like hostgator, 1and1, arvixe. At the end of the...

For non-rack mount units, I would highly suggest going with synology over qnap, I install them for NGOs sometimes and synology has always been leaps and bounds better in terms of hardware quality, interface and network compatibility, not to mention frequent updates.

You can get a 4990 used from gumtree again?

You should try Libreoffice, it is more regularly updated compared to open office, and was started by a group that defected when openoffice was bought up by sun

Hello, I do regular network installs, if you don't mind a small device at the computer end of things, leave that cable for a gigabit connection instead of splicing it, and rather purchase a 5 port gigabit unmanaged switch, they are about 12-15 quid. This will give you full gigabit access and you...

I built the following for 1250, and it can be used with OSX (a la hackintosh) or Windows, It is very capable for both photo and video (as fast as the £2400 Mac Pro when benchmarked in photoshop and final cut pro) MOD EDIT - DELETED - PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TRADE OUTSIDE CLASSIFIEDS i7-4770K...

Can't tell without knowing what these mysterious monitors are. You cannot change the white point of a monitor with the profile easily, do they have modes and such?
