Been a bit over three years on my current Dell desktop. With money as tight as it is, had planned on trying to eke out another year, but accountant has recommended we get it on this year's taxes. Mostly used for ETS and Knife Rights stuff.
Not all that thrilled with the service I have gotten from Dell and looking at other options. Any suggestions? HP seems to be priced reasonably, not sure about their service. Not interested in building my own or having it built locally, BTDT, wasn't a happy experience. Without exception, every desktop I've had has req'd a least one or two serious fixes during their lifetime, so good Onsite service is critical, I am not a geek and don't have time to deal with that stuff.
Doing a fair amount of video editing and expect to do much more going forward. Expect the new computer to last 3-4 years, never get more than that. Basic specs as follows:
Core 2 Quad Processor
Win7 64
4-8 GB RAM with room to add more
Mirrored HDD RAID - 1-1.5 TB
Running a pair of 24" WS monitors, so need dual DVI
Thoughts and recommendations welcome.
TIA!
