Okay I was just looking at a pc here's the specs and price what do you all think of it.

For just under $2200

graphics: 128 mb radeon 9800
dd: dvd+rw/+r w/cd-rw

Another person whose loaded, blimey, dark blizzard was just talking about $3000 computers.
I don't think we could really tell how good value for money that is without seeing what actual components u r getting eg make and model stuff. (Or u could just specify where u getting it from) And no monitor... that bites.

Personally, I would get one with less RAM, because Dell charges a premium for installing RAM. Get one with 256 and then install more. You will save money by doing that. Also look through their gaming series (XPS) refurbed.

Go to Dell's website and look through their refurbished stuff. I just got a killer deal. :)

[adamp2p]

[gbfan]

Cool thx for the info guys, but someone I know personally said that the dells were becoming crap but I was skeptical. So anybody heard about any problems with dell? Thx ;)

Should try building one would save you a lot of money.

I personally am so glad that i bothered to build my computer, it makes u so much more aware of whats going on both in hardware and software. I don't reckon it really saves u much money but u get exactly what u want. (the big companies get parts cheaper, but charge u for software which we all know is freely available)

i got nearly the same4 as you dapadipz for haf the money just didnt get the decent speakers or windows xp but i got a ge force 4 mx440 graphics card and a 48x12x48 cdrw :P
