Pinging @JohnC also as he bought those machines in which are setup with Ubuntu and a few hard drives. I think those are also what @tyisi is referring to. If so - keep on rocking.
@winegummo I have an i5 with 8gb ram and small ssd hard drive if it’s needed. I had it on Craigslist but am tired of all the flakes lowballing me on it. I can bring it down tonight
steve that would be great! brian says he also has one. that would make two f360 machines. perfect for when a couple of people need access to CAD. does it need a graphics card upgrade? i also have 2 tb hd we can put in it for storage.
@winegummo It has an older graphics card. I’ll leave it at the space tonight and you can check it’s specs. It has a fresh install of Windows 10 but it’s not activated yet. I do have a COA though.
thanks mike. i have one as well to bring in. I’m hoping we can get at least 2 machines up and running with F360. (more would be better). I just want to have one at the space for CAM but haveing more might make it easier for people to offer f360 training
Re: video cards. I don’t know if Fu360 has specific requirements, but I know that SWX does. Gaming cards are not good for cad. I’d stick with Quadro cards.
Fusion has a different kernel then SW. I run Fusion on gaming Laptops and PC’s with no issues until I get to assemblies with 1000’s of components. My current Shop laptop has a 1060 6gb discreet video card in it and it’s been great. I’m more CAD heavy then Modelling, but it does the job for both. Also with Fusion if you are doing some resource intensive calculations like generative design or simulations, you can do those in the cloud to free up your machine for other work.
Mobile 7th gen i7 with the 1060 and happy happy. The desk top in our shop that is mostly simple CAM work is running i7 6700 16GB ram with a GTX 960 with 2gb and it runs fine for what we are doing.
