Thanks for visiting my thread. With Tom's Hardware forum's support, I am taking up my first PC building challange. This forum has tons of info for a programmer like me.
I want to build a PC for developing Components for SharePoint and Dynamics CRM which only run on Windows Server 2008.So on a Win 7 PC I have to Boot another VM of win 2008. Some development tool only work on win 7,so Virtual machines for me are must.
I will not use this PC for anything else so average Graphics card and standard resolution monitors will suffice.
Approximate Purchase Date: 1 to 2 weeks
Budget Range: 800~1000
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Programming, Using Multiple VMs of Windows server 2008 on windows 7 PC, Local web server hosting for testing.
Parts Not Required: Do not need Software Licenses for OS or MS Office.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, Microcenter just 10 miles away
Country: USA
Parts Preferences: must have 2 19” monitors for efficient working. SSD is also preferred.
Overclocking: Not needed.
SLI or Crossfire: Do not know much about it.
Monitor Resolution: standard resolution will suffice
Additional Comments: This is my first time building PC. I will not use this PC for games. Only for programming on virtual machines with different OS.
