At the University of Colorado at Denver, students enter the 3D Graphics and Animation program with visions of creating the next Shrek or Matrix movie. Program Director Paul Conner nurtures that dream while also guiding students toward a four-year liberal arts degree. When Conner was asked to create the CU Denver program and equip the 20-seat Digital Animation Center lab, he knew he wanted fast, easy-to-use workstations that would support student creativity. He also wanted workstations that would run the software that young animators needed to learn - whether they ultimately worked in film, science, engineering, business or medicine. Conner also learned that the HP Workstation was certified to run Alias Maya, the primary software he wanted to use in the Digital Animation Center. In addition to the certification tests done by Alias, HP had performed extensive tests on its workstations? configurations to ensure software compatibility. Convinced that he had to at least give HP products a try, Conner tested the HP Workstation x2100 with 2 gigabytes of RAM, an Ultra320 SCSI hard drive and NVIDIA 900XGL video card and he knew that this was the right system for him.
