I'm starting to think about what to order for next fiscal year, and I've
been happy with Dell, and will probably be ordering Optiplex 745
machines with Core 2 Duo processors. I'm wavering though, on the form
factor. I'm tempted to order the small form factor (not the ultra small
form factor) to save space, so does anyone have any input on the smaller
form factors vs the bigger ones? The components I'd order are exactly
the same, so I'm talking from a perspective of heat, noise, dust, and
space considerations.
To make this email not so narrow focused, I'm also seeking discussion on
rolling out Vista on new PCs ordered (I think upgrading older machines
is probably not worthwhile). I've been using Vista on a personal
machine and I like it, but that doesn't always translate to a good
experience in the 'business' setting in which we run.
