I need another system and have built my last two. Everything has went ok but today in Walmart saw a HP Computer with 300 gig Sata HD, Pentium D 930 3.00 Processor 2 gigs of Memory, CD Burner, Card reader etc. For $1000.00.
Looks like my build will cost that much and now that I have done a few not sure what to do. Usually the Pc's are just not exactly what I need so I build but this one seems to be. Any advice, I dont want to build just to build, If I am not gaining anything than my purchase this one. Any Help would be appreciated. |

Thats still very expensive.
A few months ago I got the following from newegg for $1,051: Pentium D 930 3Ghz Abit AW8 955x Motherboard 250GB SATAII w/16MB Cache hard Drive 520Watt Power Supply 1GB DDR2-800 (2x 512MB) nVidia 7600GS 256MB 19" 8ms LCD And a few other things. And today all that will cost you around $900.

Thats not that nice, it has much slower memory, poor gaming card, and is most likely just a slower IDE drive. Not to mention nothing can be overclocked.
Newegg has much better deals on identical systems.

do you already have a monitor? if you don't and you build a comp it would probably be around the same price as the hp without a monitor

The nice thing about building is you know whats in your pc, and easy to upgrade and repair. I just need to keep all the information seperate on each pc so I know what they all have in them. |
