Me seeking help here since from that thread, it seems like those Bengs at SLS not reliable. Willing to pay the helper a token sum for his work.
Need this PC strictly for photo editing and storage.

but the setup was P3 ... not worth the effort.
Anyway want to thanks the 5 brudders here who offer their help.
Yesterday went to SLS and after an hour got more confused with DIY.... so finally decided to cross over to a Mac Mini.
So far so good but I have a problem with the monitor calibration now ... the photos quality on the screen now are not nice at all compared to when I was using PC... anyone can advise me how to correct the colours? Is there any way I can improve the photos and pictures in the monitor (used back the old LCD one)? :dunno:

cheap way, go do a search of your LCD monitor profile & install as the profile for the Mac mini. cos the generic profile dun suit your LCD monitor.

for a more expensive & more accurate way, buy a monitor calibration unit...
