I have a part time home based business and use my current system for that and personal use. Not graphics intensive - no gaming or anything. Still using Win 7 because I don't know what higher version to trust yet.
My current tower is a refurbished Asus Essentio CG5270 2.5 GHz quad core with AMD CPU, 8GB and a 500GB drive. I've had this for about 5 years, I think, keep it backed up with Carbonite and a local Acronis cloned drive, but am still a little nervous about how much longer it may work until it quits.
But I don't see that the technology has moved a whole lot past this yet. Am I wrong?
I don't have money to throw around on the latest greatest, just for the sake of it.
But just for awareness sake, and musing a little, what's a good place where I could roll ( configure ) my own, with maybe another refurbed Asus tower? Most bang for the buck kind of thing?
