Give me ~$3500, and about two and a half hours. One stunning PC coming up...
- 6GB RAM
- 500GB/1TB magnetic HDDs
- Windows 10 (64-bit), Windows 2000 (32-bit+P.A.E.), and both share the SSD!
- 128GB SSD for disk-intensive operations
- Visual Studio 2008, 2014 (one targets NT 5.x, the other NT 6.x-10.x)
- 1GB VRAM GPU (AMD-based, or NVidia, even)
- 1000BASET wired network interface, and there are some motherboards that include an 802.11 interface ON THE DIE.
- Last but not least, one of either a USR x2 or a LTE modem.
Incidentially, there is not only a Fry's in the next town over, but TWO electronics outlets! I'm like a kid at a candy store! One of them has been in business for the last 30 years.
I should probably put up a want ad somewhere.
