They could be but I put mine on the outside so that they can easily be cleaned.
Thanks. I will look and see what I can find!

Two 32" Dell monitors, Alienware CPU overloaded with as much power as he could muster. A computer guru ordered and configured everything for me. Money was not an issue at all. CPU alone was 6K. Walks on water. Windows system. Never had kids or wife to spend $$ on, so my toys were always top shelf.

Truth is I have no Idea what all that stuff is. That said projecting computer hardware as well as software 10 years into the future is probably not realistic. Who knows what computertechnology will look like in 10 years. Or for that matter what cameras will look like in those 10 years.

While that's true, it doesn't mean that one has to throw away a perfectly good computer after 10 years. My Windows 95 computer is 21 years old and is perfectly fine for what I have it doing. I still have computers running Vista, 8.0, 8.1. They all still work great for what I have them doing. What they don't do is run current software. That's pretty much the only reason why I ever buy a new computer, when the old computer won't run the new software.

I never throw away a good computer no matter how old. I do throw away bad computers even when they are quite new. I still have computers running DOS. I do so because it's simply too expensive to update.

I never throw away any computers, good or bad. The good ones I keep, or sell. The bad ones I sell or donate; seems there's always a computer science guy or a school class that wants even the bad computers to do research on, use parts, etc. My businesses and I have been through 2,742 computers since 1978. Not a single one has been thrown away. However, 25 of Apple's computers were returned to the store in 1983 because every. single. hard drive. did not work. The store advised me to contact Apple. Well, Apple's regional VP, Apple's national VP, and Steve Jobs all advised me to contact the store. This was back in the days when it took 30 days for checks to clear the bank, so I canceled payment on a $125,000 check. The store finally called and said that if I didn't pay for the computers, they would have to come get them. Problem solved. I have never used Apple products of any type since 1983, and nothing they have done since 1983 has encouraged me to check them out.

Hi-
Looks like it has been about 2 years since you posted the pictures of the new computer.
I , too , am looking for a set up similar to yours for similar reasons you made your choices.
Would you or have you changed or up dated any components.
Thanks,
Bill C

The Beast is roaring along marvelously, except when Adobe updates Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Bridge, Camera Raw, or Creative Cloud. Then all bets are off until the update a couple of days later to fix the bugs in the update.
At this point the only thing I would change is to update the processor from i7 to i9. Other minor things like that just to keep up to date on the latest and the greatest, hoping that Intel doesn't follow the lead of Adobe.
