I'm looking for a desktop obviously since I already have this notebook. A desktop that can last as long as my winning team of Core 2 Duo coupled with 4GB of memory has lasted me (think: since Core 2 Duo's first came out in notebooks). A good graphics card, Wireless N, Gigabit LAN, and the room for additional hard drives of the multi-terrabyte variety are also a must. Oh, and not be a Dell.
This wouldn't be a problem if every company in the book wasn't trying to sell you the new and improved Core iSuper-Ultra-Mega-Plus-Plus-Makes-You-Eggs-Bacon-Pancakes-Utlimate-Penis-Enlarger-Vaginal-Massager-Orgasmic-Inducing-Picks-Out-Your-Own-Dress-Puts-On-Your-Own-Boots-Turns-Gay-People-Straight-Gives-Virgins-Their-First-Time-Hyper-Plus-Plus K Edition with liquid cooling so those who are comparing their virtual penis and have an erection lasting more than four hours can easily have the issue fixed.
So far, I've only got a few things nailed down as a result of the above:
I naturally already have a 27" LED Monitor (1920x1080p) that I purchased for whatever computer I decided to buy. I also have a Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse but I know every computer company in the world will also "include" one with the computer.
- Core i5 3570K Overclocked to ~4.7Ghz - Because apparently no one just buys a normal processor anymore; everyone has to try and inch out their virtual penis that much further...
- GeForce GTX 670, 660Ti, or the Radeon HD 7950 - Because when I say a "good graphics card... one better than the Radeon HD 6850" computer companies really heard "the second best graphics card in the world..."
- 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB of Memory - I have nothing sarcastic to say here...
- 128GB SDD + 1TB HDD + Room for 2 or 3 more - Because when I said I needed room for additional hard drives it translated to "an SSD so I can experience that .00001 millisecond faster speed, an HDD because the virtual penis enlarging SSD has a few inadequacies in size, and the requested additional expansion space..."
- 550W, 600W, 750W, 850W Power Supplies - Because all that penis enlarging, vaginal massaging, orgasm inducing, dress picking, boots putting on, miracle working, breakfast cooking, and mega-plus-pluses require a nuclear power plant...
- Rewritable CD/DVD Drive - Oh hey, would you look at that? First non-overkill recommendation besides the memory...
- Liquid & Air Cooling - Because in the event that attempting to inch out another virtual penis causes your virtual penis to run into a little trouble, contingency plans must be in place...
Also, before any of you computer experts say it: no, I will not build my own. Why would I want to build my own when we have loyal Chinese, Mexican, and South American subjects throughout the world willing to build it for me?
