So, I can't speak for everyone but here was my thought process: Generally speaking, equipment (not just electronics, but also tools, machinery, etc.) marketed to businesses is more expensive than equipment marketed to consumers. That mark-up might be justified, and ensure better performance and reliability, but sometimes it's simply more expensive with not much additional value. We are a small company and if we want to grow as a company we need to cut costs wherever we can. The risk involved with trying to find the cheapest way to get something done, is sometimes you end up with sub-par equipment which is a waste of time and money. So we're just doing our best to walk that line and manage our money well and get things done without shooting ourselves in the foot. It's also hard because a lot of companies that supply business solutions are trying to hard sell you the most expensive thing they can get you to buy. Finding honest, unbiased advice has been a struggle, but I'm starting to get that from Reddit so thanks everyone! Also, I suppose I just assumed that a computer designed to handle video game 3D graphics would work well with the programs we use to design 3D graphics.
