[B] My question is what pc you use for RMM?
I just happen to use an Old PC made 2003 :P
Its Compaq Presario with 40 GB Hard drive runing on XP Homie with a broken floppy drive :P I think its time for an Upgrade, but before I got this one.
I had an Older PC I build myself back in the day with CD Rom drive
4 GB of Hard drive with an Intel Processor 2, running on Windows '98
Now that Old School :thumbup:
It died on 2004, that when I got my Compaq Presario :)
But know I think its time for a new PC with Windows Vista
What a good PC maker or should I go Old School and Build my own again? :P

well with companys like DELL around , I cant say id get real into building my own , we used to build em and sell , and we could buy at all the discount supply places , but its just as easy now when we need 2 or 3 just to get online and have Dell send them to us , i realize not all there stuff is top quality but with the extended warranty it really doesnt matter cause when the warrnaty is up we get new ones , But its a case of each there own ... Good luck with what ever you do . :P

I hear that, and yea Dell its not the top of the line quality
Damn the extended warranty its better then the HP lines
its true PC this dates only last 3 to 4 year, then you need to get a new 1!
The only good thing I can say about Today PC the are Cheaper and alot faster then old school one from 10 years ago! :thumbup:

I would advise against building your own PC these days unless you have access to plenty of spares for troubleshooting as not sure what its like in the states but over here if theres a component faulty and you cant ID specifically which is faulty its a nightmare to get a replacement, also often the saving of building your own to buying is very small.

Also DELL has been mentioned a couple times, i would say their higher end PCs are ok but id avoid their entry level stuff as being complete pants. HP and Lenovo systems seem pretty good for the cash, personally i would avoid acer and fujitsu as their support seems pretty poor
