Lol was trying post so made post then edit to make sure I wasn't going 2 be logged out (from mobile)

Made my post and it timed me out, then tried further few times and then "add post" disappeared

Was looking in curries had hp 1s for 600/ 700 which looked pretty decent.

The "computer" was built into the screen! 

The last time I had a desktop was a dell when I was a kid, with the big computer box + screen.

A lot more sleek nowadays, but had to make a post proper Luddite here!

hi kev

you can get a company to build you a custom desktop.

i did it for my grind station.

basically we want beefed up processor speed, ram and a nice SSD if we are running a database.

but desktops with those things also have sick graphic + sound cards, cooling systems and fancy motherboards to host them all - plus a case that looks a space-ship. we dont need these things.

by doing a cutom build you can get standard graphic, sound and mother boards / cooling systems and load up on the things that matter to us.

have a fiddle there, the company built mine and were very professional and patient with my newbie questions.

i'd look at quad core processor, 8gb ram and 120gb SSD along a 1tb standard hard drive.

use the onboard sound and grpahics [fine for HD], use standard mother board and cooling.

add in a wireless adaptor [you can even bin the dvd drive to save money]

grab a couple of nice size monitors and you'll be multitabling multiple sites with no issues and be future-proofed for if you ever need a HUD. with extra budget grab some extra ram.

I got mine custom made by a company called 'Chillblast' and has been absolutly great so far, really fast and powerful. I'm useless with technology but I believe all the specs and stuff are better than you can get for the equivalent price range in a store. Also dual monitors are definitely the way to go

Here's a pic of my old setup, word processing no problems but not sure on YouTube. Repton 2 runs a treat tho
