For my home server I needed speed and power... I selected an HP pavilion a465c...a hyper threading (fancy word for emulating a dual cpu in hardware)... pentium 4 running at 3.0ghz with at 17" monitor and windows XP. It's the foundation of my home network, I call it simply the BEAST. With so many upgrade slot options, this one will be around for many years to come.
I sit here at my desktop computer, two to four internet windows plus Outlook open, my iPhone, Blackberry, Windows Mobile and iPod on my desk, PC laptop, MacBook Pro and TiVO within reach. Clutter? Not for me.
This is my world, one dependent on, and dominated by, technology. I've always been immersed in gadgets, but never the first to have something. I tend to follow a month or two behind, when prices drop, which makes my wife happy and keeps my kids up on the latest technology.
