Dream Computer

I want one that works as fast as the ones I see on TV ....... boots up in less than a second, opens and then searches an international database in less than 5 seconds .....

And makes all those cool “computer” noises like they do on TV too?

How about one-out-of-two; my new Win10 machine boots in about 2 minutes and can do an international search in about .05 seconds; with 3.5 million hits. the two minutes is about enough time to pour a cup of coffee. What I would like to see is a large web sites have no video commercials and the ones they did have would be "clean" and unobtrusive.

Plus: the ads be so you can tell they ARE ads; so you don't click on one (thinking it's from your computer maker-that's what it says so it must be) and find out it's for some positive-Virus program for your brand new machine that you MUST d/l or your computer will lock-up and turn into a giant paper weight.

Twenty years ago I bought an IBM for $3000 that had 1/1000th of the memory and 1/3000th of the speed; but it still played videos; had voice activated typing (didn't work) and surfed the web just fine (not too fast but that was more to do with the dial-up connection) somethings get better; somethings don't.

Building my new system soon. I haven't decided on whether I'll SLI my 970 or not yet.

Haven't decided on fan LED colour either. Thinking green.

My son is designing a custom one now - in a Mineral Oil bath .......

I got one years ago it's a iMac. It was a little expensive but 7 years and no viruses later it's sill going good. this reminds me I want a faster one.

I have always wanted an Alienware gaming laptop - they are so expensive though.

I have added to my computer a
1) pci-e express SATA card
2) Samsung 850 SSD EVO 1 TB solid state drive.

This made the computer very quick! I may delay the next computer build for at least a couple of years as everything is working great!

This makes my Chromebook look ancient compared to that machine. I'm loving the transparent casing - beautiful!

My dream PC will be about $3,000 and makes loud internet dial up noises as the OS boots. Just to throw people off.

I just build my own systems.
When I upgraded my autocad software to the latest version, I was forced to scrap my PentiumD 3.6ghz and upgrade most of the computer because of it.. The pentiumD just wouldn't handle the autocad very well.

I bought a used ASUS motherboard with a CoreI5-2500K and 16gigs memory for $120 as a package.. it also came with a new CoolMaster full size ATX case.. Added a 500watt power supply for another $40, and a GeForce GTX960 graphics card for $110 (used)..

Its pretty fast and runs my autocad software at around 50 Frames per second... I can fly the BMS Falcon 4 game at over 60 frames per second on multiple screens and no processor lag.

The GTX960 rocks.. I have it hooked up to a couple of 27 inch Samsung's running 1920 x 1080 and there's no flicker at all..

Its not the latest and greatest hardware obviously, but I only invested about $270 for the computer.. and it runs everything I need..

iMac 27 inch display

Mine would be a Windows 10 computer with DVD drive, multiple USB ports, and include Microsoft Office 2016 and the complete collection of Adobe software.

I'd be happy with all my USB ports being 3.0. Why don't they do that, yet? Waaaat?
