Lovin' The New Cruiser!

HP Desktop Computer EliteDesk 8100 Intel Core i5 650 (3.2 GHz) 8 GB DDR3 2 TB HDD Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit   



Got it for $259     from Newegg a week ago.
Dumped Windows and Installed Ubuntu 14.04 64bit and KUbuntu 14.04 64bit and this thing rocks!
I have been lagging behind on my own tech chugging along with the old P-4's and Atoms... NO MORE!  This i5 doesn't even break 86 deg F when playing 4 movies across 4 desktops AND boots to my fully functional Unity desktop in only 16 seconds!   and into the fully functional KDE desktop in only 22 seconds!     It lacks USB3.0 , but I can live with that, could always add a PCI card if i need to.
