On a budget

[cliffsixty2]

Hi all

Installed 3 reolink 410s bullet cameras and so far quite pleased, I have these connected to a i7 2600 computer which I use for watching movies and photoshop editing.
I just missed out on a dell optiplex 7020 i5 4590 but a Hp elite desk 800 g1i5 4570 3.20 has come available, should I wait to get another dell or just get the Hp.
Many thanks
Cliff

I'd hold off on another Dell if you can find one with a good warranty, but I haven't had good luck in the past with HP towers and laptops.

The hp elitedesks are fantastic and reliable. I have many of them running BI as well as office pc's. They are just as good if not better in some respects than the dells. There is a significant difference between home machines and business models.

Are they normally cheaper or does it depend?

The optiplex and elitedesk are about the same price. Pricing hovers at about 300 +/- 20 for the i5-4590.
