New Computer Suggestions

[nickb]

I am looking to but a new computer within the next few weeks. I am looking for an 80-120 G HD, minimum 512 M RAM, CD burner, possibly a DVD +/-burner, decent video card (I like to play golf and myst type games - no doom type and i want to edit photos), respectable sound. I can reuse my existing monitor.

In short a decent computer where the internals can be upgraded in the future. Any suggestions on where to buy. Internetishop.com was recommended to me, but I see a lot of mixed reviews from resellerratings (although I like the format of choosing what you want in a system)

Thanks
Nickb

are you going to be building this yourself or do you want it prebuilt? and what is your budget?

www.newegg.com is really good for getting stuff. I basically bought my whole computer there, sans the video card and floppy drive.

i am not going to build it myself - i want a prebuild one. My budget is $500-$800.

be careful...we will talk you into building it yourself!!

hey guys, make sure you are nice to this old guy (its my dad )

he just told me that you will never talk him into building his own. i say try as hard as you can, i am trying to talk him into it too

oh, you have family who is into comps?? then by all means go ahead and build it yourself!! and keep butchs cell phone# handy...he will gladly help!!

As a matter of fact he told us before that nothing would bring him more joy than to be your personal 24 hr on-call computer technician!!

i heard good stuff about them never used them myself cuz i build my own..... you should try building your own in my opinion because not only do you get exactly what you want and save money....its fun too

good luck though

you guys obviously do not know my lack of patience. At mid 50s, I am going for the easy way out
