Best Computer Under $600

leSHok · 08-17-2006, 12:22 AM

What is the best computer to get under $600.00
The only things it has to do is...
Burn DVD-R or +R because the one i have no says it does both and it really only does +R
Play atleast Counter-Strike v1.6 because it's all I do
Support 2 monitors
YES i want a monitor, keyboard, speakers, and a mouse
it doesnt have to be LCD or wireless
Be 512mb of ram or over

The reason why I'm posting this as a thread because everyone here knows a LOT of stuff. Please post some stuff back.

you could easily build your own for under 400 that would play cs 1.6 with 512mb ram if your looking for built computers(like from compaq or dell etc.)then i dont know a whole lot about it

Out of the 2 computers posted, i would go for the first one, as it was much better than the lenovo one.

And you can build a pretty decent light gaming computer for $550 bucks. Just go with socket 939 instead of am2 and you can get a gig of ram, a 7600gs, and some other goodies.

the first one looks good but i want a monitor too and that one doesnt have one
What site do you go on to look for this stuff? I know a few but maybe you know some better?
