Workstations tend to have larger cases for more cards/better air flow, while consumer cases are slimmer and look flashier (with LED lights and transparent insets). The main difference is the type of CPU they can take and the size/design of the case. If this is your business, or you intend to make a lot of renders for animations, games or visual novels, then I recommend you look at a workstation as a more reliable partner in the long run. If 3D and DAZ Studio are a hobby for you, a gaming computer will suffice. They both have similar specs, but the latter is usually capable of more, will last longer and will also cost a bit more. In general, for 3D work, you’re looking either at a consumer gaming computer, or at a high end workstation. This is the option I prefer, because it’s cheaper to do that – but I understand this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. You can also build your own computer from lose components, provided they work together. You can buy pre-built systems from various manufacturers through BestBuy in the US, PC World in the UK or Amazon all over the world. The faster any of these things perform, the better it’ll be for the applications that sue them.
