I like the slim design and space saving build... however don't these kind of small enclosure boxes get hot too fast and overheat?

Oh yeah... will be used mostly for net surfing, dvd burning, Photoshop CS3, Lightroom, downloading porn.

Ignore the price of $599 at Best Buy, it would be $390 for me.

Eh, okay price.

Just splurge. Get the Intel quad. Get the 4 gigs. Get the 24" LCD Swivel Monitor. Your eyes will love you.

Dell is 'okay'. Their quality is 'okay'. Toshiba is better. HP totally rules. Heck, HP just upgraded all my drivers last night automatically! I've had zero problems wiht my HP, and thus lots of free time to post you dodos!

Well the $390 includes a 19" flat screen monitor.

cant really go wrong for that price

 

[Razorguns]

Well the $390 includes a 19" flat screen monitor.

I thought you had money? I have 24" and 42" LCD's on my system and I probably make less than you. I guess i'm kicking your butt in life bitch!!

I don't play video games.

I don't watch tv or movies on it.

I don't do high performance graphic programs.

My computer use comes down to EF, internet, email, Photoshop and PORN.

And I already have a 36" LCD on the PC in the guest bedroom if I need to pixel peep.

 

[puddlemonkey]

porn is reason enough to buy a top of the line monitor.

 

[puddlemonkey]

$390 AND it includes the monitor? Monitor will suck then, thus your penises wont look nearly as sharp and detailed as they could.

Get the bigger monitor. Your eyes are important.
