After installing all my programming tools on my home desktop computer, the performance just isn't cutting it anymore. It has lasted me about 4-5 years now and isn't bad as a hand me down after a clean reinstall of Windows without all my junk. This whole weekend I read, researched, and speced out the best desktop computer for the money and below is what I came up with. This should last me five years easy. I'm very happy with what I came up with. A special thanks goes out to Kevin at work who gave me great specs to start from! Oh yeah, and this is for my birthday!
