I highly recommend these business-class computers.  Rugged like they'd have been if you were the only one ever involved in computer construction.  Great price/performance ration that seem unbeatable.  With a 5th gen i5 quad Core, 500mg ssdi and 16Gb Ram, it's a rocket ship right out of the box.  Just add Graphics card of your choice and you've got a real contender.  Make sure you check the power source though - some cards probably would reaquire an upgrade which would be easy though since standard part in intentionally upgrade-ready slot.-------------DId I mention the business class goes out of it's way encourage upgrades whereas the consumer models are sealed in configurations ridiculously hard to work with.
