    Hi, I was considering buying an ibm or building a custom rig, I'm planing on runing some very excessively complex cad designs and have a habit of looking at it from multiple angles with each addition so I need quite a bit of "oomph"

    Is there anything that ibm makes that'd compete with gaming DRs offered by the other brand names?

    Right. The Z60m is the closest you'll get...

    How about a T42p or T43p or T60p? These use the FireGL cards that better support OpenGL.
