I find that in a large proportion of cases depth-cued graphics
without
stereo are enough (e.g. quickly examining a structure, rebuilding in
a
refined map, tracing at 2.4 A), and indeed I do most of my graphics
work on a laptop.
But, when you are lost in a poorly-phased 3.5 A map of a structure

I don't care for the way several questions are posed. Examples:
I don't expect the I'd be willing to assemble one from parts for under
USD $2000 crowd will be large but you don't have to do the assembling
to get all you need well under the $2000 mark. The times that you needed
the fastest computer money could buy and still spent lots of time in the
library
appreciated.

More likely the issue is that some of us do not find stereo to be
necessary of beneficial for crystallographic model building.
In which case, given the power of modern PCs and graphics cards, a basic
off-the-shelf PC costing $1000/£500 is completely adaquate for typical
structure solution and
is for
crystallographers. I personally think its a wonderful teaching tool
which is currently under-utilized.

Hi,
If you build a system without stereo graphics, and use a standard
monitor, I
agree. In-fact it can be done for for under ~$1000. However, stereo
systems
are rather expensive (LCD stereo systems are VERY expensive).

I use coot quite a lot too.
In my case though, I don't have hardware rendering because I don't
know how to enable it and can't be bothered to find out.
It's fine as it it - spending more than 1000 GBP on a computer to run
CCP4 and Coot seems excessive (I don't use stereo in
