In need of system that won't crack under the pressure of running multiple applications. It also needs to be fast.

I need a complete bundle (case and OS / windows)

Key requirements -
Wifi
I need to be able to connect two monitors to it (preferably via hdmi)
It needs to be able to handle multitasking without breaking a sweat.
Hard drive capacity doesn't need to be any great than 500GB

Think that's it.

Thanks in advance
 
What sort of applications?

I have a little Intel NUC D54250 with a 240GB SSD and a 2TB SSHD, 16GB RAM and 2 monitors connected
I cross-graded from an i7-920 to reduce desk space.
Does everything I need - multiple RDC, web browsers, video editing, software design (eclipse, V-Studio 2008/2013) photo manipulation, pamphlet/booklet design etc.
I haven't had it choke yet

Best bit is, it will attach to the back of one of the monitors, and you don't even khow it is there :)

Just google'd this. Liking the look of it. It sounds as if it could be good with multitasking.

I usually have tens of windows open. Usually for poker tables.

Are these up-gradable aswell?

You using a splitter to connect to multiple monitors?

Meant from a RAM standpoint. But have just noticed it can be upgraded from 8GB to 16GB.... My old netbook only has 1GB lol
 
Thanks will review these later. Although I must admit ththe mini pc does seem tempting.
 
Sorry to raise this again. Requirements have changed slighty.

The computer needs to be able to handle sql server with ease. Will the two desktops mentioned here do that?

Thanks
