1. ibuypower is a great store
2. still not as good as self built though
3. don&#39;t get the flashy cases. they&#39;re small, and they add a lot of &#036; to ur final cost. get the cheapest case. have them stuff everything in there, take the extra &#036; u saved, sell the shitty case u got on ebay as brand new, cuz it is pretty much brand new, and buy urself a good looking tower case or something (chieftec&#39;s work great, cheap and roomy)

those r my advice. i think u know, my original pc was from ibuypower, except everything in the comp has been upgraded to something else except for the case, floppy, 6in1 card reader, and cpu. everything else has been changed.




ps: i&#39;d still build it urself. cheapest, and doesnt take as long (they take a while to build ur thing if u don&#39;t rush), and more parts selection

well the best way is to decide what processor you want, and how much ram, then post that info on the forum, along with any other features you may want on your board. then someone will recomend you a good motherboard, along with some good ram to top it off.

I think we could tell you what parts to get..they would be compatible...then you could build it...would be better.

I would get the perfect flat viewsonic too.
