...and it does have wheels
I decided to splurge and replace my computer, since memory prices are relatively low and found a SSD that didn't break the bank while delivering exceptional performance...I built this...
Intel Core i7 2600 3.4 GHz (3.8 Turbo Boost)
16 GB DDR3 PC3-1866
120 GB Mushkin Collisto SSD (285 MB/s read 275 MB/s write)
10x BD-RW
There is of course some stuff I kept like the video card and sound blaster, not to mention the farm of hard drives that hold my media collection. So what can I say about this machine? It's fast, seriously fast. Not that my old machine was slow by any means, but programs that would normally take 5-10 minutes to install are taking about 10 seconds and that's no exaggeration!
