This spring I am getting a new box. Kind of a belated Christmas gift to myself. I have a tech friend who will put it together for me, but he wants me to pick out the pieces. Fact one: I don't know hardware. I barely know software. I do know that I tend to do a lot of resource hungry things like graphic design, music recording / editing, etc.. I have a few Ideas of what I want (i.e. large wide-screen LCD, 600+Gig of storage (multiple MIDI files for a single song takes up a lot of room!), tons of RAM.) Beyond that I am at a bit of a loss. I only want to use proven, stable Linux compatible hardware, But to be honest with all the new choices out there I don't even have a clue as to where I should start looking (besides Google, which I have currently have running on desktop 3). I am going to have around 2 grand to play with, so money isn't exactly a problem, but it isn't exactly like I got Mr. Bills paycheck to play with, either. Any help here would be appreciated.
