MixMasta Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 My Macbook and Lenovo laptops are both experiencing some hardware issues (18 months and 3 years old, respectively) so I've decided to pick up a budget desktop while I remained grounded (been traveling the past five months but just signed a new six month lease this week). I'm mainly using it for web applications and eventually for Ruby development. I don't mind if it has Windows 8.1 or 7 because I plan on loading Ubuntu on it. My main criteria is 8GB of memory and dual display support. I've been looking at Lenovo's outlet, specifically the H535 series. You can also get them brand new this weekend for $399.99. I've browsed NewEgg and TigerDirect for refurbished towers but haven't found anything too enticing. This morning I started looking into custom built towers on eBay, they seem to be offering a lot of bang for my buck. Deadline to have this tower is 11/10 because I start a 12 week apprenticeship then. So what do you recommend? My apologies if this is the wrong forum, haven't been here in like eight years! (Also, any recs on 22-24" monitor deals? Need to pick up two and would like to spend under $250.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
