I find it rather interesting coming across other peoples websites/blogs and seeing what they use and their setup. Below is what I my current setup consists of.
Desktop
I’m currently running a HP Pavilion Elite HPE-190a. It’s a pretty sweet machine for a branded build, and I could have probably done something better and cheaper myself, but at the time I really needed a new desktop, and a 2 year interest free offer during a period a no cash was really handy.
All the specs are available via the above link with a tonne of details, but I’ll give the brief version below.
