I am curious to see what kind of setups are being built and run for gigs so lets see them!
Sorry no laptops only desktop/rack mount setups
Photos and detailed specs would be nice!
What if the laptop is more powerful than a rack mount setup?xdjxklusivex wrote:I am curious to see what kind of setups are being built and run for gigs so lets see them!

New thread for that lol. I do want to hear about it though.Arvol wrote:What if the laptop is more powerful than a rack mount setup?xdjxklusivex wrote:I am curious to see what kind of setups are being built and run for gigs so lets see them!

Sent you a PM with the build since he wants to keep this to a rackmount only thread.jaydeeshow wrote:Curious to see that Arvol...Arvol wrote:

Im just joking! I am curious to see too just post it up! Should we post prices too?Arvol wrote:Sent you a PM with the build since he wants to keep this to a rackmount only thread.jaydeeshow wrote:Curious to see that Arvol...Arvol wrote:

The laptop I spec'd you was cheaper, much more mobile, and contained the same hardware I was going to build in my own rackmount. Just made sense
Nice! 0.88" thin is surprising! Definitely easier to travel with lol.Arvol wrote:Currently in Laptops:
Overclocked i7-7820HK (3.9Ghz/4.3Ghz)
HM175 Chipset
32GB DDR4 2667Mhz Ram
2TB m.2 PCIe SSD
8GB GTX1080
4K Touch Screen
Thunderbolt 3
0.88” Thin
7.7lbs
Comes out to about $4,000.
I spec'ed the same machine as a Rackmount and it was closer to $6,000.
The thing about Rackmounts are: They get eaten alive by Semi's. After each load-in, You'll want to open your cases up and check the PCIe cards, and the CPU/CPU-Heatsink. These will love to come unseated.
With a Laptop, you know it's going to be in the same state you left it.
Thing about Laptops are: You are very limited to your future expansion options. With external PCIe chasis (via TB3) you can kind of cheat this, but now you're dealing with system stability at that point.
Each system has it's own place.
In my opinion, the majority of Resolume users only use 1-2 screen outputs, and only need 1-2 inputs. A Laptop can handle this, and for a much cheaper price than a Rackmount. And it's easy to travel with.
If you start stepping into the large festival setups, and large corporate setups, you will need more room for expansion. This is where your Rackmounts come into play.
I like the cooling system on your rig.
How often does it travel? Have you used Watercooling on touring rigs before?
