Hello,

For various reasons I cannot run OpenFOAM at work at present. I would like to use the software, so now plan to buy a computer to use basically as a dedicated OpenFOAM machine. I can cope with simulations running slowly, and need the machine to be (at this stage) as cheap as possible, preferably also a laptop.

Does anyone have any suggested minimum specification for such a machine, does OpenFOAM require a high-spec machine or could I use something cheap and nasty for now?

Apologies for my ignorance, I do not have much experience outside of large commercial codes running on Windows.

Thanks,
Stuart
