hi all,
Well I got tired of bloatware and underpowered laptops, so this is my first desktop and I decided to go with a custom build. If you guys could give me a bit of feedback, that would be amazing. I need it to be a small formfactor as I have limited space, I'm not a gamer but serious multitasker and I'm hoping that this pc will last me a good long while. A final thought: another category of mini-pc started me with a better case ETC, where I could get the core i3 3.1-3.3 ghz processors, would this be faster than what I have here? As I can't get the sata 6gbs on that one and thus cannot get the faster harddrive.
