Does anyone have recommendations for buying a reasonable base unit (i.e. no screen/keyboard/mouse/etc.) I think I'd prefer an 'all Intel' system as that's any easy way to be (fairly) sure it will all work in Linux (though I'm willing to listen to alternatives).
I want something like - desktop/tower system, intel core two quad processor, 4Gb RAM (with space for more), 500Gb or thereabouts hard disk. My last system was a 'select the bits yourself' custom build from Komplett but they no longer exist. A company like them would be good.
... and no need for fantastic graphics performance, only requirement is to be able to run Vmware or Virtualbox without hassle.
2 things:
1) You haven't given a price range
Whatever it costs, obviously the cheaper the better.
2) You haven't said if it needs an upgrade path
No need really, apart from the comment about memory. The only upgrades I've ever done have been adding memory and adding a hard disk. Space for more than one disk would be good. -- Chris Green
