I've been looking for a pc based on the new Intel Core i7 2600 and came across the Dell Vostro 460 Mini Tower. It looks like a good starting point for a new revit PC:
I maxed it out with Intel i7 2600 (3.2 ghz)
8 gb of Ram 2 Dim's (can add 8 more later)
minimum Hard Drive (upgrade to ssd later)
1Gb nVidia Geforce GT 420, also has the option of 1GB ATI Radeon HD 5450 or 1GB ATI Radeon HD 5670. Would ATI be better to start with? Might be Upgrading this later to something like the new nVidia 560 ti.
Dvd Burner
64 bit Windows 7 professional
3 year nbd warranty; (adds some $ to the cost but if it breaks, dell will fix it)
$1400
What are your thoughts? I know I could save some by building it myself, but I require something with a nbd warrenty. I can't deal with a lot of downtime.
