I bought my first new desktop PC in 10 YEARS!
Sure several laptops, several phones, but my HP with Vista, 8GB Ram, 1TB HD and AMD 64 processor worked pretty darn good for 10 years. It's still running on another table and sure makes transition easy, although Mozilla FF and TB are pretty manual in the profile department - Firefox and Thunderbird profile information cannot be "imported". Mozilla did not make it easy to figure out. I got frustrated and just deleted the contents of the NEW TBird profile and copied the ALL the contents from huge old profile into the new folder. Worked like a champ! I don't understand why renaming the old folder with the new folder name wouldn't work, but I did the same file move with Firefox and it works perfectly!
Anyway I searched around for PC's and noted my thread asking about Ascendtech was not responded to. I did further research and really was looking for a powerful business PC that could multitask music and videos. Seemed like I couldn't find the right combo without building it myself. I didn't have time to order and cobble so I ended up with iBUYPOWER.com. Got the i7, 32GB Ram, good MB, 500GB SS HD, 5TB HD, a 970 Graphics card with 4GB, SB Z card, etc - gamer [censored] really, but seems like the way to go vs. shopping "business system". Oh baby this thing screams. Windows 10 works perfectly fine, but don't want to sign up to get notepad and such. We'll see.
