    Hi all,

    I have a budget of MAX 1700 euro (inc vat) and need a new computer (Windows) that will effortlessly run applications with little lag - photoshop, visual studio, run chrome browser with streaming content.

    I am currently using two machines spread across 4 monitors - a Mac and Windows 7. I have Synergy software which allows me to use the same keyboard and mouse and works great. However, both machines are slow and sluggish for what I use them for and ideally want something much faster now.

    My monitors are VGA and DVI with no HDMI ports however I can get cables to adapt to HDMI as I have done with my mac mini.

    So, I am looking for a website that will help give me what I need - performance with the machine itself and run those applications effortlessly.


    Thanks in advane

    Get a Shuttle DH370 8 core i9 with 32 gb ram and 2 tb NVME sdd. I did last summer and never looked back. It's tiny, the size of an external dvd rom.
    Starts up/powers down in 2 seconds flat and zips through any app thrown at it.
    Cost me €1300.
