I hope to have some solid data to analyze soon, so I thought it would be a good question to pose to the community.
What specs would you recommend for a machine that could competently deal with common next gen data analysis? Resequencing and de novo assemblies, tag counting, chip seq, whole transcriptome...is there a desktop solution fast enough yet? Dual-quad cores?
I hope to have access to a proper bioinformatics team, but I enjoy learning and tinkering with my own data. I have no concept of the computing power necessary to do even a resequencing alignment to reference.
Disclaimer: I'm obviously not experienced on the dry electrically charged side of the bench...so be gentle. I have some linux/perl knowledge and can code a bit.
