Hello CA friends!
With the MAC no longer being supported with CA5 and future releases, I figure I start this discussion with the intention of helping MAC users that my want to go the Windows PC route moving forward with Cartoon Animator.

It has been many years since I purchased a Windows PC or even put one together myself.  A lot of things have changed since I worked on Windows PC's.  

That being said, can everyone list what type of windows PC computer you have, brand, specs, etc.   What do you recommend?

Since I already invested a lot of money on my MAC setup, I am trying to keep the cost as minimal as possible ( since this is going to be a big expense in order to stay with Cartoon Animator moving forward ), but I still want to be able to get a computer that is powerful enough for video editing and Cartoon Animator 5.  A computer that will not go absolute in a couple of years and maybe that is upgradable in the future if needed.

Also, has anyone built their own PC computer?  If yes, where do you get the parts and what is the list of components needed.  I understand that I can save some money by building my own system.  But I am willing to consider a ready to go system if the price is reasonable and meets my specifications.

Thank you in advance for your help!
Bill
