This is a new Motherboard/CPU/Drives build in my Soho Sonata Server Case. $285
It contains:
MSI Pro B760M-P DDR4 Mother board $160
Core i5 12th Gen Alder Lake 10-Core (6P+4E) 3.7 GHz (4.9 GHz Turbo) LGA 1700 Intel i5-12600k CPU $260
CoolMaster 411 NANO CPU cooler (it is running at 26 degrees, which is very cool for this CPU) $65
RAM: 32 GB of G Skill Ripsaws (2X 16) $325
2 CD/DVD players: DVD Player/Burner and a CD Player/Burner $35 and $39
1 NVMe 500 GB SSD Drive (FAST, 3600mbps) $140
1 SSD: Samsung 870 Pro, 500 GB $95
1 Hitachi Data Storage drive, SATA 1 Terabyte, partitioned to two drives, each 500MB. $15
All the drives have all data the same, imaged from the “C” drive. Comes with the imaging software. If you ever mess up your primary drive, you can boot it back up on either one of the secondary drives, then re-image to the 'erred' drive from the third drive. Never lose data, never have to lose your programs. Back up and running in seconds by booting off any of the three disks, and backing up regularly with the Synchronize-It program included.
There is all the software that I run on my company computer: about 120 programs, including a Windows 11 (fully updated as of writing this note), Office 2021, also updated, new install. Many, many other programs: all marketing, graphics, accounting and all other tasks requiring a computer are loaded on there. Some of them are simply there so that you know the best program to renew for specific tasks, and most are life-time software: they don’t need renewal. Just the Office programs would cost about $100 per month. And the Adobe CS3 Master Collection will NOT need renewal. It is old but has around 12 different Adobe Programs. I spent hours sorting out everything on this new-build. After 30 years building computers I have a pretty good idea. It takes under 40 seconds to restart from being in Windows back into Windows.
Comes ready to use. I will throw in an old keyboard and mouse, and a very good 22” Acer monitor. You’ll need nothing to be up and running immediately.
No way can you build this yourself at the price offered.
