[WriteLog] Dream Shack PC

[Kent Hufford]

AS much computer as you can afford. Dell's are good.

Windows 7 Ultimate, 64bit, Intel i7 processor, 8gb RAM, 256gb RAM Hard Disk,
320gb 10k RPM Hard Disk, 1tb Hard Disk, BlueRay DVD
ATI Radeon 4870 x2 2gb Video Card or better, 3.0 USB, 4 true Serial Port
PCI-E card.... etc

Tho dated, this tells all:

All,

So my 2005 vintage Dell Home PC just went south.  Hard drive is gone. 
Backups are there and I could simply rebuild this PC with a new hard
drive.  However, this may be an opportunity to step up a little.

So...

If I currently do simple single radio contesting with Writelog and desire
to move to SO2R later, and if I wanted to buy a factory fresh new computer
to support this, what kind, make, shape, etc. computer do you suggest?

WinXP/7?
Home/Pro?
32/64 bit?
Built-in Sound Card or something more exotic?

I am partial to Dells, but that is not set in stone.

Thanks for the tips.

John, kx4o
