Poll

Public test poll

  • Second GPU. ~$500 (Faster renders, but will contribute to my case's heat output and power intake.) 0
  • New main hard drive. $50-$100 (More storage and faster. Probably wont affect modeling/renders too much. Convenience and storage.) 4
  • VR headset $??? (Will get me into VR stuff, hopefully goading me into making things that utilize it, too.) 2
  • Save the money in the budget for emergencies. (If this wins, I'll run a second poll deciding how much I should save.) 6
  • Throw all the money in my bank account for motorcycle maintenance, clothes without holes, a new phone, etc. IRL stuff.) 2

Content

(I was curious, so I'm making a quick test poll, open to as many people as possible. I won't make this too binding quite yet.)

So like I said before, my computer is about where I'm happy with; there's nothing in it that I can point at and say "holy moly, THAT is BAD", except maybe my hard drives (one internal, one external. The external one is showing its age, the internal one isn't as old, but is still pretty slow and only 1TB. Both aren't *bad*, they're just not *good*.)

Seeing as there's nothing immediately *wrong* with my computer, I feel I should run a poll for you guys to decide what the upgrade budget should go towards.

EDIT: The old external hard drive I mentioned doesn't have anything to do with modeling and doesn't contain anything super important. If it fails, I don't care much, I'd probably enjoy freeing up a USB slot, ha.

Please tell me you have a backup drive, doesn't have to be fast, just spacious, so that in case the computer dies, you've not lost all your files

I don't, but honestly if I lost everything it'd be a good excuse to finally redo all my stuff from scratch. Most of my models are ancient, heh.
