[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1886563, member: 1132"] I bought a reasonably powerful computer for what I considered to be a decent price at PC Club. That was closing in on 10 years ago, and it's just now getting to the point that I can't live with its performance anymore. PC Club is gone and I haven't found any vendors of built machines I'd go with, so I'm going to have one built. So here's what I want: Machine and OS for under a grand. Windows 7 obviously. I don't need a monitor, keyboard, mouse, UPS or printer, All my peripherals are in great shape. I'll be getting my MS Office suite through an inexpensive .gov program. I don't game. I want it to start fast, open programs fast, perform tasks fast and shut down fast when I'm done. I like to get what I'm doing done and GTFO. I want at least dual drives with automatic backup and defrag. OS on a separate drive would be sweet. Same goes for a lot of RAM. Did I mention I want fast? I want superb audio and video processing. I want to stream HD video without freezing, buffering and out of sync audio/video. It needs good cooling and quiet operation. I'd like to have a multimedia card reader and lots of USB ports, both front and back. At some point, I'll want to add photo and video editing software. I'm getting into that area more, so I also need advice on what to be looking at there. I want this one to last as close to 10 years as possible as well. Based on those criteria, what would you gurus suggest? [/QUOTE]
