And I have been testing a BUNCH of them lately.



Is hands down the Dell 6430u. It's a beast, especially if you shell out the dough for the i7 with the 256gb SSD and the 16 GB's or RAM.


Thin and Light is the way to go these days.. lol

Well I decided to upgrade another on of my grid of 6 computers here

By friday UPS should be dropping me off a package from TigerDirct.

Ultra 4X 850 watt PSU

4GB DDR2 since this one still has to use the older version

And I looked at the prices of the video cards since it is GPU's that I even do this for.

Tempted to get another GeForce GTX 660Ti SC and was even thinking about just getting another 550Ti if it was a low price but they didn't have any of those left.

Decided on getting the GeForce GTX 650Ti SSC since it was only $180

So the total came to $394.97

Can't wait to do the upgrade and since I already did this with another pc I have exactly like it I will have it up and running in less than 10 minutes smile

So that will make 4 of them rebuilt running the GPU's 24/7 along with my laptop that also does that.

So just one quad-core is staying the way it is since it came in a mini box and I would have to take it completely apart to install it all in another box I have which means removing all the rivets just to remove all the parts......I looked at it several times and decided it would just be a pain in the ass.

So by the weekend another one of these will have a GeForce on this page.

I blame the shipper no matter who it is and hell I spend thousands on computers so Air shipping is not something I will ever pay for since I have always got free shipping from TigerDirect

But I checked today and it was in Redmond WA this morning so I think it still has a chance to get here by the end of the day thankya

I have a TigerDirect store the next town south of me, you think they'll honor their internet prices? I know for a fact Wal-Mart wont.

Yes......at least they tell me that but I have an account and they send me deals every day.

Give it a try since they always have the best deals and I compared them with all the other sites and stores.
