Damn awesome computers are fucking cheap!
My 2.4Ghz, 8GB Dell was feeling slower than fuck so I looked into buying something meatier and found:
Dell Precision Workstation T7400 2x's Xeon Quad Core 3Ghz 16GB DDR2 FB-DIMM ... selling for $275 on Ebay. I guess a crapload of them are coming off of business leases. Paired one with a Samsung SSD ($80) as the main drive and another 16GB of RAM ($125). Unfucking believable how much faster this thing is than my old box. Not bad for $480! I've never used an SSD before and I am blown away. Things that used to be annoying like restarting the computer now take 10 seconds and right after you sign on, its ready. All of the start up programs load instantly. Checking for windows updates is another task that can take many minutes. Now its done in seconds. Loading photoshop? Almost instantaneous. Switching between open windows of 20 Chrome tabs, several open files in Photoshop, 15 files open in Dreamweaver, several metapads, colorcop, a few Putty, and a grip of other shit is all instantaneous. On my old system it was torture to have that much shit open at once. Time to buy some more SSD's and go RAID 5.

I already have it installed with everything I used to have in it.
It still runs like a speed demon. But to hit on your point in a more complete way... Right now with 2 dozen startup programs and everything I had before this one takes 10 seconds from power on to being completely usable and my last system was perhaps 30 seconds with nothing installed yet. Running test on my drives the SSD drive is about 10 times faster than my standard hard drive was (7500rpm drive). And... if I had bought a T7500 the SATA3 would have boosted it to 20 times faster.

Developers, video and graphics editing, gamers, a huge variety of business solutions, the list goes on and on. While the "average" person that checks Facebook or ESPN will likely sit on the couch with a phone or tablet (not a computer at all) the heavy computer user will still enjoy sitting at a desk with a large screen with lots of real estate to play with.

gamers largely still use desktops. i will always use one for work. even those who use laptops typically hook them up to monitors and keyboards for real productivity.

If you don't run a business and just check facebook than laptop is the way to go but sly is right gamers and people that actually have greater tasks to do have and own desktops

It's important to configure your SSD the right way and optimize for maximum performance/durability. Usually they come packed with some optimizing software from the producer but you can get better results if you add some more settings to improve performance. Also, keep the SSD mostly for OS and applications that require speed. For general storage & downloads use a secondary HDD.

I'm surprised no apple fan said that you should have bought an apple instead.... it would have cost you closer to $2750 than $275 for the same specs though...

i am buying a desktop for my boys soon.
I like it because i can keep it hidden away from spills and so on. so just the keyboard and mouse are at risk. There are some very cool programming "games" for kids now |

Casuals dont go with desktop that much, they got everything they need with their smartphones nowadays and tablets/laptop. Desktops are more for those who work on heavier stuff so less demands I built my machine at dirt price recently and couldnt help but see all the desktop on the shelves but laptops/tablets were gone like hotcakes.

If it's an older Xeon (DDR2 memory suggests that) just be careful as they can be incredibly power hungry, even when idling.

Because I wanted everything I got for for under $500. I have used AMD computers for many years and I am always frustrated when I want to upgrade something and some bullshit driver doesn't work well with AMD. Got tired of it. But I also didn't care what was in my desktop. I just wanted certain specs at $500 and I found them.

Go to admin tools and in there you will find drive set up. In there you will tell windows to see it as a drive and not a mass storage device. Then you can format it, etc.
