I had lunch at my home today with a friend of mine who is also my accountant. We had talked about poker in the converstation and he came back to my home office and I showed him Party Poker. I run a small business from my home. I had mentioned that I wanted to get a new computer so I have nothing on this computer except Business use only software. He said that I need to do that since I claim this computer as a 100% business deduction.
Ok now that that is out of the way. This is what I have picked out and saved but I have not ordered it yet.
The main thing that I have noticed is everyone here is hardcore about 1600x1200 resolution. I also want this to be a computer that I do not need to upgrade for 2-3+ years.

I am not so much concerned with did I over spend a few hundred or I can get this cheaper if I have someone build it. I just want to know will it work for playing poker for the next 2-3+ years?
