$700 Budget, Work Horse.

djcon · 04-14-2008, 03:50 AM

Hey guys, I'm in need of some help piecing together a computer.

The Budget is $700 CAD, and it will be a work machine, with WoW and thats all.

The Cheaper the better, and don't need Mouse, Keyboard, Monitor, Speakers, but would like the budget to include the OS... Preferably XP Professional.

Thanks.

djcon · 04-14-2008, 09:07 PM

damn, dumb newegg!!!

Yea, a crazy video isn't too neccessary, so i'll probably go for a cheaper one.

Would It be wiser to get two HHD's? like, an 60-80 GB one for the OS, and essential stuff... then a 200 Gig for files?

Would it be safer that way?

Thanks for the replys guys

g25racer · 04-14-2008, 09:14 PM

It would be alot safer by doing that!! I have a 320gb for the os and programs and a 750gb for media. No kidding the prices in canada are high! I just bought my 750gb for $130 and it has 32mb cache!

djcon · 04-15-2008, 12:20 AM

kk, thanks for the heads up.

:O shmoley stokes! That dang boarder just screws canadians!

Vizy93 · 04-15-2008, 01:03 AM

oh btw, u can save some money by downloading your OS and taking an older computer key, and then call up support and tell them ur key is not working when u switched out your mobo and they'll give you a new one. U can, but u shouldn't. it is morally/ethically/legally wrong.

so don't.
