Cheap But Good Computers?

[aphextwin]

i heard tigerdirect is good :\

 

[ShaftedTwice]

TigerDirect is way better at stuff for comp parts, but theyre already-built systems arent the best.

 

[icastbigspells]

i would prefer www.newegg.com but thats just me

 

[Beer $lut]

The thing with cyberpowerinc and the others is, they don't automatically put things i would need to run the computer like Windows XP, Speakers, Etc..And now I'm thinking there probably other stuff i would need on there. Maybe one of you guys that know a lot about them could customize one, that would run warcraft 3 and some other stuff, cause i know I'm going to screw up some where.

like are you talking about the compatabilitys? or are you gonna have dell do it?

What are you talking about? Im not getting a dell.

 

[icastbigspells]

no someone mentioned a dell and i didnt really feel like reading through the whole thread.

edit: would you just use your old case?

 

[ShaftedTwice]

he's planning on buying one, not building one.

oh, and for that Win XP Pro, dont get it with the comp, get it here for $50: http://qualityoemsoft.biz/

2.2 ghz you think that could run warcraft? wheres the mobo?

 

[[x]Steben[x]]

My labtop is 1.4ghz and it runs just fine...

 

[ShaftedTwice]

2.2Ghz is different with Athlon. It equals up to about 3.0 GHz in Pentium (Note the AMD® Athlon™ XP 3200+

Athlon runs about 700-800 MHz indifference to the Pentium, but is just the same speed.

EDIT: Oh, and it comes with a mobo, i just dont know the specs on it, it is an already built computer.

 

[icastbigspells]

wheres the mobo though?

Just what i said. It doesnt give specs, but i am sure that it has one and its enough to support the computer.
