[QUOTE="Alex66, post: 114935, member: 12398"] I am a fan of desktops for one reason I like a big screen, I run a mac and my wife ran a nice Win 7 machine until her office became our daughters bedroom. Her machine is an AMD six core processor and I have to say it goes like a rocket with some of the panoramic software, it now is used as a home theatre. I would consider what you want to do with the machine if you fancy building big montages you will need power and ram. For ordinary photography I think you will get a good bit of benefit from a good processor but you don't really need the fastest an i5 will do well and 8 gig of ram is not much more than 4 so you may as well. If you go the desk top route go for a good screen, I think Dell do a really good 27" if you have the space. Do you know anyone who can build you a machine? you then be able to select the preferred components if some one can work out a list for you. I would also look for one that has USB3 too it is a good bit faster than USB2. [/QUOTE]
