[Elecraft] suggested PC???

[Don Wilhelm]

Jerry,

Put some real RS-232 serial ports in it.  USB is fine for some things, 
but there are times you want a serial port and USB to serial adapters 
can sometimes be finicky.

I would limit the memory to 4 GB if it were mine, and yes, I have a 
tower computer that I have dedicated to the hamshack.
