Tomorrow, I might be getting a new computer.

I've chosen Lenovo (IBM) because it was the best machine at this price that I could find at the electronics store.

It's a desktop. With a whopping 8GB RAM (expandable to 16GB), Intel i3-2100 Sandy Bridge at 3.1GHz. 8 USB ports and a bunch of other unnecessary crap. Lol

Only thing I don't like, and as astrimc knows, it has a 1TB HDD.

All of this and more for $580 USD.

You should build your own. Will save you so much money. Then you can get the 2 HDDs like you want.

I was thinking about it, but I did the math to see which one was cheaper just for the hell of it, and they were about the same price. A few dollars off but about the same.

Change in plans. No store location around here has them in stock.

Never mind I am on the original machine. One location's database system did not record that they had one left.

I am not buying the processor for that much. I am bought the whole computer for that. 8GB of RAM. and 3.1GHz plus whatever I do with overclocking is good enough for me.
