Approximate Purchase Date: ~30 days
Budget Range: ~$1500
System Usage from Most to Least Important: 1) software dev; 2) home network media server; 3) general use
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg
Country: USA
Parts Preferences: Intel...employee discount!
Overclocking: Maybe, but not planning on it
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe, but not planning on it
Monitor Resolution: 1-1920x1200, but may add another matching monitor later
Additional Comments: No bling...just a workhorse. Room for plenty of drives. Will likely run some variant of Linux. Plan to use the SSD as primary drive and HD1 and 2 in RAID 1 config for media storage.
