[Elecraft] suggested PC???

[Vic Rosenthal 4X6GP/K2VCO]

I put together a new Windows PC about 2 years ago. The single component 
that seems to have made the biggest difference is a 250 GB solid-state 
drive (SSD). The computer boots in about 20 seconds (OK, the I7 
processor helps too), which is important to me since I don't like to 
leave it on all the time. I also got a 1 TB conventional drive which I 
use for backups.
One good thing about assembling a computer from components is that you 
can install the OS without all the junk that the manufacturers like to 
gum it up with.
