Solidworks require FirePro or Quardo for realview to work which "instant rendering"
There is a hack to get realview to work on AMD Radeon or Geforce card. Fluid Calculations/ Sim work just fine with out Quardo or Firepro because I use couple times a week
No! Horrible Selection.
Only thing is good is the Xeon but I wouldn't recommand a Xeon for you either. I would save the money and go I7 47XX or step and go I7 5820.
Not enough ram 16gb minimal for desktop cad/cam workstation
No SSD. No modern Workstation should come with out an SSD at least 256gb
Send me link something confusing about K4200 in lenovo but they added on 2200?
$2k? Really ask dstryr about the computer I recommand for him it was around $2.5 mark but had a hexcore and 512SSD
Ran some testing for myself. Using the Benchmark Here: 3min 54sec Mastercam X8 (lastest patches and service pack)
Brought a 290X just for you Fogorn. I could shave a couple seconds running mastercam off a ram disk but a pain to use everyday.
3930K OC 4.5GHZ (everyday overclock)
R9 290X
Two 850 EVO 500 GB ( Raid 0)

1. Too much money.
2. Scaling 3X is horrible
3. CAD/CAM will not benefit from 3.
I have been telling coworkers/posting that quardo/firepro are waste of money much better bang for your buck is Middle of Road Ati or nvidia "gamer" card and put the saved money into SSD's two of them in raid 0.
I don't use mine much because I'm just as fast on keyboard and mouse. I programmed the left side of the keyboard for really common functions. I try to keep the main functions the same across all of the cad/cam programs I use
I can't find the option to use the drill hole as a entry point.
I dont see Optirough either just opti-area, opti-core, opti-rest. I assume you mean opti-area?
