Mini desktops / Tiny computer choices

Reed:
Well, I built what I thought was the best computer for him. We all have different opinions on what is best, so if you disagree just give him an example of what you think is the optimal build and let him choose for himself.

The AM3 phenom II's are actually quite competitive with the C2 counterparts. The board I suggested is AM3 capable. I think this is a great breakdown of the available mainstream processors (even if they leave out the Intel lines below E/Q8xxx).

I really like techreport, for many reasons including their system guides are usually a great starting point for building a computer.

Rizzo:
What I'm really looking for is a computer that just goes. I don't need to fuck around with drivers, conflicts, all that kind of crap that I put up with on my current desktop.
AMD sounds ok but Intel will probably get me more bang for my buck, at least in the short term.

Reed:
Check out the system guide I put up in my last post. As far as I'm concerned tech report is the best all around computer site, and they have a bunch of builds in different price brackets that will give you a really good basis for building your computer.

Ozymandias:
You know what the coolest thing about an AM2+ board is?

It's frontward compatible with AM3.

That blows my mind.

(I don't care what kind of processor you get, it's not going to be important to you.)
