I do need a desktop though as my PIV isn't enough. I am looking at a Lenovo dual socket quad core with 25GB of RAM. I intend to couple a triple head display system to it using 3x Sony widescreen TV's when I have my own place and the money :-)
I also need new servers, a larger router that can handle VoIP SIP and SRST trunks, and can be a VPN aggregator too using IPsec. Oh, and a 12TB file store..... that's my shopping list LOL. > >> Regards, >> Moinak. >> > > -- Sriram > Thanks both of you guys for your input and willingness to listen to poor little 'ol me :-) P.s. I don't think I need a job, I think I need to marry a really rich girl - that should do the trick :-P hahaha Regards, Kaya
