Hello GTALUG, Thanks to GTALUG members: William Park, D. Hugh Redelmeier, Ron / BCLUG and Howard Gibson for your responses to my message subject "Seeking Recommendations For New Desktop PC -- To Run Debian Linux;". My apologies if I missed any names. * * * * * * I have settled on a Dell Optiplex Tower Model 7020 Plus and a Dell Monitor: Dell Tower: -- 32 GB RAM -- 4 TB SATA Hard Drive -- No Windows 11 Dell Monitor: -- 21.4 inch -- HDMI Prices before taxes: Dell Optiplex Tower: CAD $2,021.89 Dell Monitor: CAD $119.99 ========= CAD $2141.88 No doubt GTALUG members will be choking on their Cheerios, at the pricing. * * * * * * The Asrock motherboard on my present self-built (7 years ago) tower is dying. And I am never going to build another PC. So, I have decided to pillage my bank account, buying a new PC with twice the RAM and twice the disk capacity on my dying tower. Only downside is Dell's predicted delivery date for the tower: Tuesday, March 18, 2025. But could be sooner. So, I just have to hope that my current dying tower survives for another month. The motherboard problems show up at boot time. I'm keeping he Debian 11 running 24/7 and only powering down if / when Debian crashes. Which it occasionally does for some mysterious reason. I already have a USB flash drive with Debian 12 live ready to boot on the Dell. * * * * * * I will report my experience with the Dell tower in due course.
