by Greetings,
I'm in the hunt for a stable, $500-$800 system that'll have
o Intel or Asus motherboard w/ integrated sound/video/LAN.
o Solid Linux driver support for the integrated periphs
(though I hear that's not as big a deal these days and Linux
will run on most anything).
o Processor doesn't much matter, though I have a leaning
toward Intel (due to a bad AMD experience with a
Thunderbird 800 on an Abit KT7-RAID--never got that damned
thing stable), but am willing to try AMD again.
o a bunch of RAM
o A nice quiet case which can be ugly and bland
I've built my own in the past, but the novelty has worn off and I'd
much prefer to purchase a tested known-good system.
Are there any Linux-clueful system resellers that would build such a
system? I checked out penguincomputing.com but they seem to be
selling at more the higher end in the $1400 workstation arena.
TIA for any insight or advice!
Best Regards,
