So yeah, I want to get a desktop.
But the thing is: i have like no idea what to look for. What I want to do with it is here:
  • Linux
  • at least two monitors
  • programming
  • finally be able to watch full hd videos without the acting up like i have atm on my lappy
  • I guess USB 3.0 would be cool
  • Run emulations without a problem or much lag (like virtualbox or a virtual androis device or something from that area (I hope it'll be able to run Wabbitemu D:))
  • A second monitor (already have one)
  • Keyboard
  • I guess a blu-ray drive would be cool but dvd is just fine (as long as i can burn dvds)
  • SSD to boot quicker + start applications quicker
  • At least 1TB hdd (or are SSDs so big and long-living by now that i could go full on ssd?)
Yep, no windows needed ;)

So, I wouldn't get anything before christmas now as i'm putting some money for this on my wishlist.

Any ideas/what I whould look for/should i buil on my own?

Thanks for any help :)

Definitely build your own. MUCH cheaper.
depending on how much money you have you can get certain parts for certain things.

You will need/want/what I suggest for the core components.

PSU - atleast 600w. but 700w+ is pretty good to have too.
Graphics Card (you want a good one) - GeForce GTX Series's I prefer the GTX 760 (getting that soon, brother has it)
Processor - INTEL (NOT AMD, because AMD is good for cheap processors and if you are going cheap they are fine, but intel is sturdy it will last and there is a slight difference between them that make me like intel better, cant remember what though) Quad-Core processor of atleast 3.00 GHz
Motherboard - anything that is compatible with all your parts, doesn't need to be too great.
RAM - If you don't really care or it doesn't matter than do 4 gb if you need a little extra then 6 is good. you probably wont need 8 or 16 for a couple years so don't bother.

I'm not a hardware or even software for that matter genius so don't credit me for my likes and dislikes. I'm just trying to help out :P.
If your price range is smaller than this that's fine. You can always get lesser parts but remember your GPU and CPU REALLY matter on the computers performance.

And don't forget you can always download more RAM. :P

Good Question. Maybe you could ask HP sometime :P. And It might not be the same considering it is an HP and not a Texas Instruments.

I still need to figure out how to use draw commands efficiently, and I would love to know how to use the lists too. Then I could start using the touchscreen.

Um, sorry to burst your bubble, slight problem with that. What makes a super-computer so good is it's hardware. The operating system is software. So shrinking a super computer would render it useless because you would fit worse and smaller components into it. (less RAM, worse processor). Thus the OS would be the same (even without the better hardware if it's a calc OS), if not a little bit more optimized. (maybe) :P

Plus, Hardware is tangible, software is a program so it is not. (unless you count electrons running around, in which case it really is tangible, but just to small)

Yep, and they use all appendages as anything, arms, legs, doesn't matter to them, as long as it works.
