Nobody ever said that your business machine had to come from a tier-one vendor. If you enjoy the satisfaction of building your own systems, this $500 machine covers all your basic needs. It includes a dual-core Core i5 processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a well-equipped B75 Express-based ASRock motherboard. A capable power supply, low key enclosure, 500 GB hard drive, and 120 GB SSD mean you won't be sacrificing form or function. Congratulations to forum member mastrom101 for having his recommended build picked by the Tom's Hardware community this quarter!
