Advice on Vortex spec, please

[Joz]

Hi guys,

I would appreciate your advice on below spec. Whether it makes sense if I want to use it for Visual Studio programming. Os - Win7, running 2 test concurrent virtual machines.
Also I would like to ask if the keyboard on this chassis has a numeric pad. Thank you. :)
