So like a pc user . . .
What started as a suggestion to the original post to be careful in purchasing a custom built computer has once again turned to the almighty argument of the pc/apple syndrome. Don't really care to argue regarding power, speed, ram, cores . . . as long as it works for you . . . spend your money.
Going way past 40 years in the tech field ... back when a computer took up an entire room in the Air Force . . . we have more power in our shirt pocket today. Have made many mistakes & expensive lessons along the way . . . purchasing custom built, self built, and off the shelf systems. Commodore, Atari, dos, Macintosh, win(1.1,NT,95,98,2000,millennium,xp,vista,7,8, and soon to be 10), Apple. . . my job is so much easier today... thanks Mr Jobs.
Currently work as a private contractor for an organization with hundreds of computers, tablets, phones, printers, scanners, and audio/video equipment . . . (funny thing) the only Mac in the entire organization is on my support desk.
Something to think about . . . having the most ram and the largest number of cores . . .. if a simple Win 7 - 64 bit system has to install most of the programs you buy in a folder called (Program Files x86) because they can't take advantage of the 64 bit system . . . How many programs that you know of in this industry have the capacity to support 1TB ram & 18 core?
Really enjoy wide format printing, Cloud based software, Citrix. . . it has all came into my business a little late in life, but this industry will see a massive change with Thin Clients (no desktops) and cloud based solutions.
After sharing all this I'm that much closer to retirement, and to think I was almost convinced to buy a custom built system and switch back to Windows.
I pray that He who is able, guide each of you in your business endeavors
