Figuring on doing a new system build here in about a month or so. I will be blending in a few items I already have and I'll try to make note of those as well.
Needs:
1. Open up multiple applications without bog down (i.e. quickbooks, openoffice, dreamweaver, other business software)
2. Surf internet
3. Video/Audio encoding
4. music playing via foobar2000/ minimal movie playing using VLC player
5. NO-GAMING...want option for future expansion for Blu-Ray playback/backup
