Update on my new computer

It's been 2-3 weeks since I got the new computer. Everything works just fine. For the first week I didn't realize I had a bad HDMI cable. I'm ready to connect a 39" 1080p TV along with the 45" 1080p TV. There is one HDMI connection and 1 Display Port connection. I've ordered a Display Port cable.

Here are the specs of the new computer, and a link. We paid just about $1,000. We got it on sale.

My only problem is the 1TB internal hard drive. It's not enough for all my DAZ Content and projects. I am using 3 external hard drives that I used on my Macs. I will likely buy an internal 3TB hard drive next month.

HP Envy Desktop - 10th Gen Intel Core i7-10700F - GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER

32GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 1TB hard drive, DVD Writer

    Cool, Ron! I'm glad you were able to upgrade! :D I look forward to seeing your renders (maybe with those fun characters you've created)!

    You should do a blog about this on your new website

    3Diva & Serene Night, as always, thanks for your support. I have shared many new illustrations on Facebook. (Feel free to friend me on Facebook! You'll want to give me your "DAZ handle" in addition to the name you use on Facebook. My memory is somewhat faulty!) 

    I plan to get the new web site going in coming weeks. First, I am rebuilding my audio setup for making YouTube videos. Also, I will add a 39" TV (monitor) to the 45" TV I am using now. I get the TV stands and HDMI to Displayport cable Sat & Sunday. I will likely have an art gallery on the new web site. I want the ability to quickly upload new art.

    You can also follow my adventures in returning to the Windows world after around a decade in the Mac World. I'm rebuilding my arsenal of tools for making videos, file management, image management etc.

    Do you actually have to have all of the DAZ items installed at once though? Surely there are some items you have that you don't intend to use. I don't see how it wouldn't fit on a terabyte hard drive.

    Just the stuff I use in my VN's is more than 1Tb. I actually thought about getting a m.2 as a working drive over the summer for that purpose but when I totaled up the assets I wanted on such a drive I'd have need a 2 Tb one and that wasn't worth it.

    Yes, I want everything installed. In addition, I want the original files handy. And I install with DIM, and I also install manually! That way I'm covered if I find any problems with a product!
