I was just reading about them so I would know what your abrev would mean in the future.  I knew the site was for coders but when I stumbled upon DJ's thread when surfing the web for the "future of personal computers" I thought I would join and offer him my subjective point of view about desktop computers.  I've connected to desktops and laptops Windows OSes only about 3000 imes since 2003.

Just wondering... do you own a calc, online golfer (no offense if you dont, just wondering)

No offense taken. If you are referring to some software coders use, no I don't. I am strictly an Expert Windows Advanced Power User/Tutor/Troubleshooter.  I can fly the shuttle but (J/k) I didn't engineer it.  ;)

Heya and welcome to the forums OnlineGolfer :)

Thanks. I really do encourage you to visit  tigerdirect.com ,  zipzoomfly.com or any other reputable technology/hardware site and buy a "bundle".  You can even call someone and ask quesitons during the process.  In truth, the bundles with a case, fans, processor, power supply, graphics card, memory, optical drive etc. is the same as putting together a model car or airplane (minus the glue) .   Just take your time and assemble the computer---it's really that easy. Best of all, you will be able to buy something for about $400.00 that's worth $900.00 in the retail stores and you'll be darn proud of your first desktop build. It's the best way to get the confidence about hardware for your future desktop computer experiences.

Ok so as some of you heard from me for several months alerady, this month I am supposed to buy a new desktop computer. No I'm not gonna build it myself.

Hi there DJ. My post is following an older topic but I am sure it will be read and found encouraging by many Desktop Owners.  I am a gamer, (can you tell by my nickname? ;) ) But I am also a remote support tech.  Which means all the experience I have connecting to computers around the world gives me a good insight as to the preferences people are leaning toward.  I can tell you for certain that  Desktop Gaming Computers will be in the mainstream for years and years. Why?  Because we gamers want the "Big Experience".  We want a rugged keyboard to bang out our text, a huge screen or dual screens to play our games and plenty of customizeable personal upgrades in our Towers a.k.a Cases.  The software industry is deluged with game designers and they don't want a "cartoonish" experience for their end users. They want us to be "blown away" with the best software possible that takes advantage of PhysX and all other technologies for our machines to knock us out of our comfy-computer chairs!  :w00t:.  Desktop computers are the only way to give us the tactile, visual and audio experience we all crave. Whether it's surround sound or a magnificent pair of light-weight bass throbbing  headphones, the sounds make the games so real we sometimes forget that 10 hours have passed-by since we sat down to play our games!  :angel:

Nope. Desktop Computers for gamers and many other fields are here to stay, at least until everything plugs directly into our gray-matter.  :crazy:

Here is my latest Desktop Build:
