Apples not as good as Korean ladies

Cheaper, just as easy to manipulate, but not quite as visually arresting. Especially when it's a boring old Royal Gala. They could've at least gone the extra 10p required for a Pink Lady to show they mean business.

It's a Tranquil T7 - and is a server, not a desktop

Or paid the extra £120 an hour for an actual pink lady.

A REQUEST
The above image was found while researching small but powerful desktops. The Idiot Toys Dell is due for decommissioning and replacement this year before it becomes a fire hazard, and something small-yet-powerful is required. Suggestions? Cheap is also better. A mid-range Core 2 Duo is all that's needed. There's no real need for a big graphics card, either, so the "form factor" can be "small."

All the hardware forums we've looked at so far are full of terrifying men who replace their CPUs twice a year. Can't ask them. They'd laugh or, even worse, suggest building one from scratch.

Why not buy a big computer and hide it? Also, invest in a bluetooth everything, then you can hide it better. I know you don't want a second hand mac mini, but they can hide easily.

I imagine there will be Korean ladies in photos in the future where it will just say the product name, and you have to guess where she hid it. What an exciting future for holding!

Real men buy second hand ThinkPads from eBay. That's if by 'real men', you mean 'Sponge Finge'.

Check out www.overclockers.co.uk.

They have a number of pre-built systems you can buy and they're pretty cheap, too.

Dell do dirt cheap vostros (£150 including screen) that you could easily afford to replace every year from all the ad revenue you're going to be getting now.

The Dell Vostro suggestion is a bloody good one. A fair bit cheaper than there normal stuff and of a decent enough quality. They can only be found on the dell u.k. website if you go into one of the business categories i.e. small-medium.

*Everyone's* advertising on this site. If Idiot's mum wants to get in touch she books a 468x60 banner.

As you are mainly downloading porn^H^H^H stuff 24/7 you need an always on machine. You need The Koolu
http://koolu.com/Koolu-WE-Appliance/Works-Everywhere-Appliance.html

It's only consuming 8 watts and will show you pics in 1920*1440

The cpu and gpu are too weak to let you do any real work. Think of that as an added bonus.
