A friend recently asked me what would be my Dream PC, so here are some thoughts.

– All hardware should be Linux compatible.
– CPU should be preferable AMD Athlon 64 (64-Bit) or Intel P4 Hyper Threading.
– 800 FSB along with DDR 400 Memory.
– Display card should be Nvidia high end graphic card. If the card is on-board there should be an AGP 8X slot also available.
– Hard disk should be Serial ATA with 7200 RPM speed. – Raid controller would be nice to have.
– DVD ROM with CD writer or better still DVD writer. I have found Plextor to be a very good and reliable CD Writer, Pioneer is suppose to be the best in DVD players.
– 100 Mbps LAN on board.
– Mimimum 4 USB 2.0 ports 2 in the front and 2 behind.
– 15/17″ LCD Monitor.
– 3 Button or Scroll Mouse.
– Cabinet should be as small as possible preferably like Mini-ITX.
– Low Noise. System should be as low noise as possible.
