Windows 7...

Just watch Dealzmodo until you see one you really want. At this point I would suggest waiting until Black Friday to pick one up.

For instance, they have one on there right now that has the following: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 2.5GHz; 8GB RAM; 640GB HDD; Blu-Ray reader & DVD burner combo; Vista Home Premium; NVIDIA GeForce 9300GE; 1yr warranty, for $649 shipped (regulary $999). Then go to www.Win741.com and get the Windows 7 upgrade for $30.

I got an HP desktop and put my own video card in it, and maxxed out the RAM.

I get good HP driver support for the basics, and can keep tabs on my video card software easily - when i build my own it's all over the place.

I used to build my own but in the end I never saved enough to make it worth the days of research, purchasing, and building/installing to make it worthwile other then as an engineering exercise.

Depends on how you classify the money you're saving. If you took a custom built PC and compared it to a comparable Dell or HP, I think you'd fine that the specs may be the same, but the parts are a whole different story. Those big companies sub out for the cheapest parts possible and they simply don't last as long as a computer that has higher end parts installed.

Just my personal opinion at any rate.

Keep in mind that this is my work machine, so a significant decrease in processing time = real money to me. I don't want to wait until black friday when I have a backlog of workflows to get through.

I am thinking of custom ordering from hp.com. i7 processor, 12 gigs ram, 1 gig video card with 2 dvi connections.

    • Was at the game and NYCFC honestly outplayed CLT the whole way.  Khalina and Zaha carried the team.  Zaha's wife on IG making it sound like he's gone come July. They're going to have to pay him or find a big time replacement because the team looks like pretty lost without him.
    • No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.
    • Honestly its why that Jalen Coker grab was a big deal.  I'd been warming up to the idea of a sadiq pick and was adamantly against a receiver...but this altered my train of thought.  I mean For instance, Cade Otton signed for 3 yr 30 mil contract...thats not dramatically different than the rookie payscale for #19 (4 year 20 mil with 5th year option), however you KNOW otton is decent...no clue if Sadiq will be anything.
