Have a dell p400 with is still doing fine. Can any1 recommend a good manufacture? Dell? Gateway??? I like to say that computers are like houses, get the best you can afford. You say you are going to use it for gaming, and have a budget of a grand. Some video cards will eat up half of your budget. What games do you play? Are you a hard-core computer user, or just the occasional piddle around once or twice a week? One suggestion I might give you is, and ive done this with most of my relatives. Go to a place like newegg.com and get a "bare bones kit". Then transfer your memory and hard drive, and cdrom over and you have a faster computer. Of course you will have to reload your Operating system again, but then that makes completely new. The money you will save will let you buy a bigger hard drive, dvd burner, jake raby engine, nickies, etc. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
