[CQ-Contest] Contest PCs

[aa6dx at arrl.net]

HI .. I have two of the `puters like Gerry has, got them on sale @ Newegg 
for less than $80 per... With Windows 7 Pro!  Can't hardly get the OS for 
that price!  They work swell, no RFI probs.  I did add DVD burners, as they 
come with readers.  $14 each.  Video not great, but for what I use them for 
.. perfect!
Worky worky!  73  Mark ..AA6DX

Mike, I've built a LOT of contesting computers form off-lease Dell boxes;
they are all very good as far as RF interference.  Generally, they are sold
for office environments, where they must meet more stringent RFI rules.
Make sure you have all the empty slots covered.

Other than that, you should be in good shape.
