[nmglug] a new home computer -- tips?

[mike]

We've bought several Dell Optiplex 960 Small Form Factor's over the past 
few months at our office and they are nice, quick, quiet and well built 
machines that come with a business type 3 year warranty - about the same 
size as an Albuquerque phone book..  starts at about $620 without a 
monitor.  ofcourse building one for yourself is always the most cost 
effective option.
