Thinking of a new comp

[woodman19_99]

Given, a lot of things are more expensive at the store. But if you look online and do some customizing, you can get prices to where you want them.

Also, I must ask again what the budget is. Knowing this would help everyone giving suggestionas

Ailenware seems to be expensive wherever you go. But its all high-end stuff....very nice systems!

1.5 to around 2k is the budget...and I'll need a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

You could probably find someone that knows how to build computers and have them put one together for you. Also, if you go to pricewatch.com, you can call some of these companies. Many of them will build a system based on the components you select. You don't have to buy one that is not upgradeable like a Dell or HP.

The folks here at Otc would probably assist you in picking the components if you need advice. Fury suggested a board to me not long ago for mine.
