Yeah, but is always nice to build your own...what do you do in the long evening when you would otherwise just be wasting your time sleeping?

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. .02 Rocky -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Peter Brawley Sent: Friday, October 21, 2011 7:55 PM To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Subject: [dba-Tech] best current desktops? My geophysicist daughter wants a new desktop, 8GRAM & Windows, mostly the box will run SOTA geophysical analysis software. Any suggestions?
