[QUOTE="XJ-linux, post: 962608, member: 33722"] Been out of the PC hardware main stream for a bit now. Could someone recommend a reputable company that sells a smallish "generic" pre-assembled PC towers or desktops? I'm just looking for a cheap platform to mess with Linux builds on. No gaming, maybe some limited DVR and video/media out to TV, definitely some VM hosting and file sharing duties. I'd like to find something that will support 8GB of RAM, a RAID card at some future point and a decent dual core 64 bit CPU. Anyone have a vendor they recommend? Probably will be playing with openSUSE, various BSD variants and some openSolaris. Budget is between $300 to $400 and I already have keyboard, display, etc... I'm not really in the mood to scratch around the internet for parts, so I'm hoping a assembled, or partially assembled system might be out there somewhere. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
