A business desktop

You could also buy a low-end business class PC from Dell (from their Optiplex line) or HP. Should help with tech support issues.

What is your budget for the PC you wish to purchase?

Thanks ScrewySqrl; I will give AMD a shot, never tried them earlier.

As the computer is ON always, will the SMPS of 350-400W hold good? Will the SSD hold good for rapid download/upload cycles. We wont have heavy data stored onto the HDD so a relatively cheaper but rugged SSD will do. Please suggest your preferred one.


COLGeek: I am looking for a low budget computer but wont be penny wise pound foolish. I want a problem free PC experience, can't afford to have it down even for a minute.

Thanks!

Go here and look at the US options:

I am sure Dell also has a page for India. A SSD is overkill for your needs. Rather, you need a decent sized HDD.

^Sir dont mind, but Dell are the worst Desktops I have ever encountered, maybe it is just between Dell and me. I had last year bought a i5 Dell and it had lots of heating and upgrade issues. Some companies skins the people buying their products, in my humble opinion.

Do you recommend Celeron processors in current generation of i3 or llano's A6?

Thank you for the SSD tip, I too think it will be fancy not necessary part. 7200rpm 512GB HDD with 3GB/s interface will be more than sufficient for my needs.

I understand your concerns, but I have had other experiences with the Dell office grade systems. I, literally, have thousands of them (Optiplex and Inspiron) in my organization and we have had minimal issues. That being said, an HP or Lenovo can also be configured to meet your needs. I have some of both of those as well.

Keep in mind that business/office class machines are made to operate long hours and are usually very quiet as well. Unlike consumer/gaming systems, the BIOS options are very limited and don't allow for any overclocking or features that can make the system unstable.

The US link for HP small business class desktops is below:

the best option is to choose a high quality PSU, which can handle long term, 24-7 use. Antec, SeaSonic, XFX, Xigmatek, OCZ, Corsair, Enermax, Silverstone, are all good brands. The 350-400W will handle any PC running on its on-board GPU.

Thank you ColGeek and ScrewySqrl

I am going to get one made with the specification you mentioned. Col: Company made PCs are still fleecing India, thus those are now not being considered.

Thank you for your time and honest opinions.
