Does anyone have recommendations for buying a reasonable base unit (i.e. no screen/keyboard/mouse/etc.) I think I'd prefer an 'all Intel' system as that's any easy way to be (fairly) sure it will all work in Linux (though I'm willing to listen to alternatives).
I want something like - desktop/tower system, intel core two quad processor, 4Gb RAM (with space for more), 500Gb or thereabouts hard disk. My last system was a 'select the bits yourself' custom build from Komplett but they no longer exist. A company like them would be good.
... and no need for fantastic graphics performance, only requirement is to be able to run Vmware or Virtualbox without hassle.
2 things:
- You haven't given a price range
Whatever it costs, obviously the cheaper the better.
- You haven't said if it needs an upgrade path
No need really, apart from the comment about memory. The only upgrades I've ever done have been adding memory and adding a hard disk. Space for more than one disk would be good.
