My new computer...

A Dell Precision M4400!
With a 3 GHz Intel Core Duo Extreme CPU, and 3.5 GB RAM, it is one of the fastest computers I've ever used.

It is refurbished, so my grandma was able to get it for $800, which is a fraction of the original price! It came with the hard drive blank, like I wanted it to.

I installed my copy of Windows Vista Ultimate onto it, and have had a good experience so far. (Windows Aero has never been smoother.)

Very nice... Wish I had something like that... I could run the whole website off that thing (in terms of hardware and software, not as a server).

You mean in terms of management programs and tools like Photoshop and Dreamweaver?

[Smjh1979]

Pretty much, yeah.... Especially Photoshop.

Well, I'm now running windows 7, but it hardly looks like it:

Nice screenshot. Lots of good software installed.

Looks nice.

I came within a whisker of buying a laptop over another desktop, but Chris said I'd just lose the laptop somewhere. She's probably right *wry smile* .
