Its not about the cost of it, it is about getting exactly what you need.
If you just do simple word processing, then go with a cheap dell.

theres a thought, someone should make the game chess in source.. It would be awesome!
Anyway, some update on my latest character. Having a real hard time with his legs.. His arms are cannons but they seem to short.. once the legs are done I'll start to think about scale.
Backstory of the concept;
I was actually going to 'Sam's Restaurant' for lunch one day at going in, they have a 25 cents machine out front with little Hershy cube-like chocolates.. so I got one. Once seated, I ate the tiny chocolate bar.. then with the wrapper, I crushed it into a little ball. The candy wrapper then looked like a head, so once home I sketched it.
Moral of story; Inspiration can come from anywhere! I took a snapshot with my camera of the wrapper next to the sketch, I'll have to got it and upload it for you guys..
Anyways, progress;
my poly limit is 2000. Right now its at 1176.

Next low-poly model is going to be a bot with no hands, canons instead..
Here's a concept piece that I'm going for.
Also, sorry but the scanner is downstairs packed away, and I'm to lazy to fetch it.. I just took a quick pic. of my sketch.

Anyways, so I just about got his leather coat and gloves textured, the coat was hard as hell to do, I still got a couple things to fix like the top of his head.. The black things around his shoulders is to hide a seam, which is just black right now, its got an alpha.. it all goes good though;

Quoting the wiki; October 2005, Alias was sold to Autodesk, and on January 10, 2006, Autodesk completed the acquisition and Alias Maya is now known as Autodesk Maya.

By no way am I a professional yet, theres some other work out there that would put me to shame :P.. anyways, the model took me about 5 and a half hours.. not really sure though, probably alot less, I worked on it on and off from sunday to yesturday. probably going to add two flame throwers to him.. not sure though.
Urby;
Yea, totally agree with you, and depending on the platform, alot of the time the lowpoly character will be really small on the screen (psp, iphone)
which makes it look even better. And yeah, the texturing is what really makes it.

Hello, I need some help with the basics of 3DSmax organic modelling..
I thought it would be great if we can both link up in msn, with mics, that way I can ask all the need to know questions, while we are both on in 3DSmax.
This would be very appreciative, so if you know 3Dsmax pretty good, please I would love your help.
Rimrook, or any others, if your up to it, please reply, we'll probably hold a session either Sunday, or Monday.
Once I get some money in, I don't mind paying you through paypal.
rate Im offering is $20/hour for roughly 5 hours.

Admit it, without the round windows, it would look kinda decent.

On another note, just remembered a good joke about a winner!
One day long ago. There was a king who gathered all the people of the land. He said if anyone could swim across the lake (with crocodiles) would have their choice of : a castle, money, or His daughters hand in marriage.
One man jumped up and yelled "I can do it!" He tried and failed.
Another man said "I can do better than that." So he jumped in and didn`t make it either.
Next the crowd heard a splash. A man swam all the way across the lake. The king asked him "Which one would you like? A castle, money, or my daughters` hand in marriage."
The man replied "I want the sorry son-of-a-bitch that pushed me in!"
Oh and another thing, read these;

yeah, but Direct X 11 is that advanced.. anyway few more screenshots of possible HL3 leakage
ah, nice observations.
Everyone says that these are both fake, but noone has explained why they think these are fake..
With the new Direct 11 features, both these pictures are very plausible!
