Buyers Guide: AMD-Based Office PC Configuration
Nobody ever said your business machine had to come from a tier-one vendor. If you enjoy the satisfaction of building your own system (or building them for other folks as an IT manager), this sub-$500 machines covers your basic needs. From a snappy AMD A8-3850 quad-core Llano-based processor to plenty of memory and lots of storage, it promises to be responsive, quiet, and compact. The A75-based motherboard facilitates two independent display outputs on its own for multi-monitor configurations. Or, you can add an inexpensive discrete card to take advantage of SurroundView, supporting up to four screens for an even more elaborate setup. A special congratulations to forum member ice919 for having his recommended build picked by the Tom's Hardware community this quarter!
