A catch phrase will go here soon.

My new rig

11/27/2005

18 months ago I ordered an amazing rocketship of a computer. A small form factor Shuttle put together by a really great company called ABS.

I like to replace my desktop every 12-18 months, and I’m long over due, so I’m again looking for advice from y’all. What computer should I get next? I know I want to gt a bigger computer because I want a) two video cards, b) a RAID setup, and c) massive storage (like a terabyte). I don’t think I can do that kind of a thing in a Shuttle, so I’m going back to the tower.

I’m going to use my old Shuttle as a media server (or maybe put Windows Media Center on it… however, I got to get an HD turner card for it which is a pain in the next).

So, what do you guys think?
Should I get a tower from ABS? Should I get a gaming rig from Voodoo, Alienware, or Falcon (I hear those are $1k extra just for the name!)?

Oh yeah, I want to be able to run three–yes three–24inch monitors off of it. Right now I’m kicking two Dell 2405′s and loving life. I want to move to three so I can be surrounded by them and have IM windows on the left, email in the middle, and side projects on the right.

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.
