Hey all. Have not seen (or heard) from most of you in a while.
Jobs, a decent system and 3 kids can do that to you.
Anyway, I am looking at a 4+ year old I5 system (5300?) in a silverstone case with a 960 card that is startingto see its age.
I got the original spec from here and it worked well, although the 960 upgrade was so cramped that I had to take the plastic casing off the fand and un-mount the motherboard to fit it!
Anyway, thing is, I am looking at a decent mid range system (replacement) that can work with three (existing) monitors. All peripherals are a go, but I would like to have at least 3 HDMI connections and MANY USB connections.
I am also looking for a decent SSD setup, coming from a 1TB Samsung as my root drive and a 2GB disk drive for a data drive (and a Synergy RAID server for bulk server).
So what I am asking here is a startup for a new shoebox gaming system. All the other ones I have Googled seem to go for mini towers, but I do not want to go back to that.
Any suggestions, links or recommendations are appreciated.
