Well, I finally did it...
I've been running my ol' eMachine for years...got me thru hs, college, and built AAM and what you see so far of LSM.
The processor was under powered for today's tasks and limited me quite a bit to what it could handle. Furthermore the fan (upgraded from a crash) was extremly loud...I'd put it on par with most dishwashers etc.
The new unit is stealth quiet...if not for the power light you wouldn't even know it was on. It has a 3.1 GHz processor, 8 GB Ram, and 1 TB HD. Another big perk for me is that the bundle included a 23" LED HD monitor. A definitie improvement overy my 24" deep, 17" flat screen from the lat 90s. I honestly think I heard my desk sigh a little relief when I pulled it off.
Hopefully it will hold up as well as this previous one...which I am keeping and will still use for some things. If all goes well and once funds recover I will try to pick up some software to help make LSM even better.
Gotta get home and cut the grass, but I'll be trying out the new desktop later tonight
