The
Lenovo desktop that may fit my poker needs has a price of
$1,354 without monitor. I'll try to see if I can get a lower price from Dell or NCIX.

BlondeFish;336133 wroteI'm planning to buy a mainly-poker desktop system; no gaming, maybe porn. ;)
1) Should I even bother with Windows 8 if I won't be using the touch feature for poker? Is Windows 7 good enough for online poker for the next 3-5 years? Are there any compelling touch apps for a desktop in the near future?
2) Do any Lenovo desktops have an option to have an SSD pre-installed?
3) Do Lenovo desktops have Dual Port/DVI outputs & everything else required for dual monitors, including a Dell 30"?
4) How do Lenovo desktops compare to Dell and NCIX?
