i think it might be something that i would be looking for as i do a lot of video editing. and also what is an open gl2 card? any ideas?

yeh but its the ONLY option if ur wanting an EXTERNAL graphics isnt it?

 

[The_Beast]

why don't you just buy a bigger case and a better PSU instead of wanting an external graphics card

 

[deankenny]

that would be a ever so !!!!!SLIGHTLY!!!!! cheaper option lol

yeah spend $100 on a new case and $150 for a good 550-700 watt PSU

if you want more room get a full tower case

could i do that wit my dell computer? i wouldnt know what case to buy and could i overkill me computer with so much power? could i fry my motherboard etc? its def a good idea.

also if i got a bigger psu and a bigger case could i have more internal hdd's? or does that depend on my motherboard? and could i overkill my cpu?

Thanks!

If you were considering $2000 for a graphic card you could get a whole new computer. if you built your own and got a good mobo you could have plenty of hard drives. my mobo can support up to 4 i think or 6 sata cards. and you can get pci cards with sata ports.
