I need a computer

JAB · 07-31-2004, 12:22 AM

I'm 17 years old and I'm in the mood of buying a computer. I know a little on them and I've been reading up on them

. I need it for mostly gaming downloading music and burning cds, but i also need it for the internet and school work. I can spend about 1000 on it. If any one has any help they can give me for a nice computer, it would be appreciated.
