I think I'll choose the digital art design client instead of the boring family or extreme gamer clients. Probably spec out a high end Mac since that seems like what most the graphic art/video editing community uses. Add tons of RAM, a blazing video card, dual or triple monitors with one of them being a flat screen TV where they can stream old episodes of the Simpsons and stuff while they work. Then spec out a full up Adobe software suite and other stuff using torrent links to download complete with cracked activation codes to save some money.
Ya think the prof will look kindly on my out of the box thinking and efforts to save the client some money by installing pirated software? I mean it's not like its a real physical system or anything, just something on paper.
Don't forget storage. Graphic designers need TONS of storage. Also don't forget a stylus and digital pad.
