I just bought this computer from B&H for $1,800. It is a work computer. I had to buy new. I had to buy complete. Other than that, I just need it to run 2 monitors now, and upgradable to 4 in the future. Finance programs and lots of spreadsheets at the same time. No games.

Sounds like I did just fine! Company expense is company's problem.

Profits are up from last year, which was a record year. Projections are looking good as well. Thanks.

Congrats on completely wasting the companies money. You could have spent half that and been able to run 6-8 monitors using USB Ports and DisplayLink adapters.

I didn't see you bought it for $1,800 until just now, but that's not a terrible price for a prebuilt.

You could have gotten away with a $500-700 PC and had plenty of hardware performance to spare

No liquid cooling?

Damn man...all that fan noise is gonna make you have to take frequent breaks from those spreadsheets.

Liquid cooling can be louder than upper end air coolers.

And there will be hardly any fan noise. That video card certainly wont get any use, so it's fans probably wont even come on. The CPU cooler fan wont have to rev that high up either

Edit: It does have an Asetek liquid Cooler on it though, if the picture is accurate of the PC
