[dba-Tech] best current desktops?

My son built a computer over the summer - we had a great time shopping,
assembling, debugging, loading software, configuring, debugging, etc., etc.
Great fun.

I also got a new comp over the summer.  However, I did what I always do - go
to the Dell site, configure my box, order up and a few days later they
brought it to me.  I fired it up, loaded my stuff and off I went.

The two boxes were very similar in size, shape, speed, capacity, and price.

If you're interested in just using a computer and don't get any goodies from
fooling around with it, Plan B is my recommendation. 

Or any other off the shelf out of the box, comp - Staples, Office Depot,
Costco, Sam.  It's an appliance.  I wouldn't build my own dishwasher,
either.

My geophysicist daughter wants a new desktop, 8GRAM & Windows, mostly the
box will run SOTA geophysical analysis software. Any suggestions?
