I just bought my first OEM desktop in over 15 years.. My old decktop pretty much died last year, and I've only been running a laptop since. My new work situation(from home, engineering) has been pushing the capabilities of my lappy - so I broke down and bought a new desky. Each time I pieced one out online I kept exceeding what I wanted to spend. ...had to fight the urge to get the biggest and baddest goody.
Here is what I got sorta on a whim today while getting a couple reams of paper at Staples.

As long as you don't want to do any major upgrades (i.e. more than RAM) they work great. |
I've always had good luck with HP and Compaq for work machines and peripherals. Which was a factor in buying this machine.
My last desktop was a Athlon XP-M 2600 OC'd to 2626mhz with a Radeon 9800pro. Built it in 2004 and last til 2009 without any upgrades. I probably wont be upgrading this one, with exception of faster RAM, better display card, and a better PSU to support the display card. ...but that will be much later. Long ago are my enthusiast days, I'm just a PC user anymore. Meh money has to go to guns and repairs on this house.. lol |
