What a drag

[The Howling Wolves]

You are quite welcome.

I love digging out info on HP. Dell is even easier. Well for me anyway.

Anytime my friend.
Mike

i7-2600 and 8GB of Ram it should do everything you want.
Everything I would at least.

Mikey,

I want one too!
Promise to be a good boy Next Year!

Instructions to remove/replace hard drive. Documentation

At least you can see how they are mounted and how to get inside the case. Gives you an idea of how/where to install SSD.



@Dennis
An improvent over that HP earlier by far.

Only a little more $$$ than an iPad2. :shock:

Yeah, it looks like a nice configuration. If I add my Crucial M4 SSD that I just ordered today, it should make for a fast box.

Kick axx!

Your choice of course but the best hardware/price overall I've seen for an assembled desktop.

+1 from me.

My 2 cents.

You are really good at finding those documents. But I do not intend to remove the HDD - just add the SSD and maybe an additional HDD. And that I have done a few times already.

In my Dell box in Germany I had to attach the SSD with Velcro because the Inspiron 530 has no disk bays.

I thought they might be useful documents when adding the new units.

Case disassembly or maybe if you forget where something goes upon reassemble.

I was considering others like Dennis for future reference.
The mechanically disadvantaged.

WHS and Mikey!
I searched for hours and found this case for WHS new set up.


Some assembly required and that is why I recommended Duct Tape!

hehehehhe I am off to bother others...

The mechanically disadvantaged.

LOL - in general I was able to do any mechanical work - as an engineer I should at least. My problem now is that I do not see the little screws any more. Screwing is getting more and more difficult with age.


Dennis, that is a nice box. I did not know they made things like that. Is that for PCs for the 3d world.

You can now see why I directed the "disadvantaged" comment to Dennis.

CyberPower PC. - Custom Built Gaming PC and Gaming Laptops

Neat but pricey. A bit of an overkill for what I am doing with it (no games at all). And a fancy box is useless for me because it is buried under the desk.

Custom Build

That was just an example. Do a search for "custom built desktop" or some variation. There is probably several.

Actually CyberPowerPC and iBuyPower are on the low end of pricing of the "Boutique" type builders. Have a look at these builders:

Puget Systems

Digital Storm

XION

Maingear PC

Velocity Micro

Xi Computer Corp.

Thanks Bill for the fine list. Will study it. The model I am now looking at right now is appr. $800 with the graphics upgrade and 2 USB3 ports. They give me a little discount. That will be my benchmark.

Those I listed won't let you sneeze for $800 It was more for comparison to the site HammerHead posted. Have a look at AVA Direct, their prices are more in line with what it would cost you to buy all the parts at retail. A Guy

The closest I could get for a comparable configuration (AMD 6 core though) was $1150.

Yes, none of the quality builders are cheap. A Guy
