In my opinion, the build your own route is totally dependent on how much free time you have and if you want to spend that free time stuck inside working on your computer instead of outside enjoying a sunny day. I will never build another system myself - just don't have the time to maintain it when it needs work. I'd rather be outside, or reading a book, or pondering my belly-button lint. Anything but sitting at my computer during my free time. If you are looking at a PC - I would avoid Best Buy's markup and go direct to someone like Dell. I have several Dells and they are not the end-all-be-all but they seem to be the best balance of quality / price in my recent experience. My Dell laptop screen started going out and they actually sent someone to my home to fix it. Total downtime while the guy was fixing it, 30 minutes - I watched him do it, and it was free. Doing that type of thing myself would have killed way more than 30 minutes. Bringing it to a place like Best Buy and leaving it for 3 days with some high school kid with a Geek Squad shirt on? No thanks. If you have any interest at all in switching, I'd also look at Apple's MacBook Pro. A product line refresh is due out soon and it's a very sexy product. It will run Windows in VM too, so your SQL Server problems are handled. I have a feeling you may not want to take this route though. -Cameron ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
