HI, I have a Dell tower, very pleased with it! it has the 1/TGB, and I'm trying to remember think it's 6/GB ram. mine has 2 USB ports, several on back. Mine is also wireless capabilities. I purchased it in Nov of 2013 for $500.00 it runs Win/7 home I didn't like the keyboard though. I had issues with the numpad not turning to use as Jaws navigation keys, which I use all the time. I have a wireless bt keyboard working on it just fine.

It doesn't need to be anything special or high end. So I was checking out some Win7 machines and the Dell Optiplex line keeps on popping up. Specs around 4 gb ram and 1TGB of storage with a pentium processor give or take. Looks like they're around $150.00 to $199.00 on Amazon depending again, on specs. I haven't really used the OptiPlex line and while descriptions often mention that these computers have higher end parts and are a favorite of corperations, etc. I was curious if anyone's had experience with this line of desktops and what they thought of their general performance. Again, it would really just be for work type of stuff. Jaws, email, Skype, word processing, spreadsheets, and so on. I'll most likely load one of my Office Small Business 365 licenses on it. I don't' need a super fast or processor intensive type of machine. Just something that's not going to be sluggish in general or with Jaws. I know I can probably wait and see what Win10 will provide and see how pricing shakes out then, but for $150.00 or so for reasonable specs and the familiarity of Win7, I wouldn't mind just grabbing a tower now.
