In the needs of new equipment

I just received some projects lately. Most of them are print design job. An IT solutions company needs to revamp their corporate communications, including logo, business stationary, brochure, x-banner, folder, and a cd software packaging. Another company I work for, need a corporate communications. This task including logo and business stationary. The third company needs to have a new company profile and a website. Not to mention bunch of projects are waiting.

I’m really excited with these things, since I only did very few project in graphic design. These tasks will give me opportunity to explore my print design concept. But I have small problems here, especially on the equipments. I don’t have a proper PC monitor. My one and only monitor is 15″ unknown monitor and it’s horrible, it doesn’t show a fit color on the screen. It’s darker than it should be. What a cloudy monitor :D. It’s 5 years old monitor, so what do you expect.

Another one is its CPU. I feel it’s very slow when I’m deal with a print design work. I suppose AMD Duron 700 can’t handle those tasks anymore. Opening Photoshop and Freehand at the same time will eat the resource, so darn fast.

So I’m considering to buy a new monitor, upgrading my RAM, and/or buy a new weapon. For the monitor I think I will choose an LCD monitor. 17″ is enough. For the new weapon…I don’t know..if someone offers me a second hand of PowerMac or Powerbook, I will pick it.

Meanwhile I should stick to my “best friend”, my lovely PC. Always by my side for the last 5 years.

Update:
I just brought a 17′ Samsung LCD monitor, SyncMaster 710v. It’s too good to ignore, a refurbished monitor for only IDR 1.7 million. I took it because it’s good price and I need it so bad. Now I have a brighter and wider views. I almost forget what a beautiful colors in here :).
