Well it's been a while since I have asked for a new spec me a system... But here goes
I do all my work on my iMac, but using bootcamp as a Counter Strike source machine is not really that convient. So I really would want a computer just for my pet game...
Now I got some "must haves" for this system, so please have this in your mind
1 - Discrete and good looking. (I am a Mac user so the case needs to look as good as possible, but also as small and discrete as possible. No neon and other PC bling bling.
2 - Must be able to run Counter Strike source on any maps with 10 - 30 players at any time. Details as high as possible and 1920x1280 resolution. I do not have any urge to play other games, but if it's possible to run some future games in case something interesting comes around better than CSS (not likely) it would be nice if they were playable too.
3 - Should be as silent as possible, but again not if it compromise the fps under point 2.
4 - Keyboard and mice should be of high quality, responsive but small so it's easy to pack away on top of the machine.
5 - OS and monitor not needed.
6 - Since the PC wont hold a lot of stuff except the game, OS and perhaps some movies it does not require a lot of HD space. But a quiet and fast HD is prefered.
Thanks for all inputs - look forward to see if this is possible...
