Spindulik-

Great info! - Thanks so much. Those are some great ideas, and I will check into whether or not there is going to be a show anytime soon near my home.

Yes, I figured I could get a great system for the $1000.00. I was just looking to see what anyone else had to say regarding what to put into it - and you have done just that, so thanks!

And yes, I do have a monitor - a 21" Viewsonic - a necessity for anyone running AutoCAD.

Thanks again,

ToddM

I like that site the-ninja69! Anyone know a site like that for laptops :huh:

Anyone else have any thoughts on this? I'm going to decide soon, so was looking for any last-minute opinions.

Thanks

Get a DVD burner, you can burn cd's with that. Sorry if this was mentioned.

okay, about to go but, I gotta add a bit too :)

There's been great advice and this looks to become the perfect pc, here's other things to consider:

Try to get a motherboard with an 8x AGP slot (which is becoming the new standard).

Try to have at least three memory slots on the motherboard. (will help in future).

Haven't heard anything on soundcard so I recommend the audigy 2 (or platinum) with creative 5300 speakers.

AMD is A LOT cheaper and I reckon its perfermance is much better (but thats debateable, search the forum).

ONboard sound and video ARE upgradeable but they are crap so stay away.

Having more usb is better so try and get at least 4 and make sure there usb 2.0.

Get a nice case, its important :)

Hey all-

I was curious what computer (computer only - without monitor, printer, etc.) you would buy if you had up to $1000.00 USD to spend on it?

I am getting ready to purchase a new one, and here are my uses:

1. Work - I work with AutoCAD everyday, so needs great processor, memory, and video card.
2. Music - I think you know what I mean here - CDS, MP3S, etc.
3. Video - I plan to buy a digital video camera and would like to get into editing and some small home movie making.
4. Play - Gaming is not a huge factor, but I do enjoy an occasional Tony Hawk or Mat Hoffman session.
5. ???? - whatever else you can think of which would be of interest.

My innitial thoughts:

-P4 processor
-Plenty of USB 2.0 ports
-Firewire port(s)
-CD writer
-DVD drive (maybe a DVD writer for the film stuff???)
-Video card with ??? memory
-Awesome sound card
-Operating System??? Leaning toward XP Pro
-I will be setting up a network upon the purchase of the new computer, so anything I may want to consider with that in mind?

All your thoughts on the above info. and any additional suggestions are appreciated as well.

Thanks for your help. :)

AMD Clock Speed and FSB not as good as Intel but its artcitechutre, is MUCH beeter meaning AMD perform just as well and intel if not better plus 200+ cheaper,
