anyone have a estimate of to what tax will be?

Tax only applies if you live in either CA or NJ I believe, and the tax rate is different in both those states.

 

[Dr Studly]

newegg doesn't charge tax... at least when my dad bought his PC they didn't charge tax... in wisconsin... of course all us wisconsin ppl are pimps...

[TheChef]

There are periods in the hyperlink so it actually goes in as
"http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826104183". Can you fix them?

 

[holyjunk]

is this monitor good?, it does to me
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4659400

 

[TheChef]

Yup, that's fine.

is this monitor good?, it does to me

It does what to you?

 

[holyjunk]

Yup, that's fine.



It does what to you?

you are very funny (sarcasticly saying) anyway isn't that a good price? and if i were to go to walmart and get one would it be the same price as to newegg? because of shipping
-how do u like the rest of my build?

 

[TheChef]

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...&description=&srchInDesc=&minPrice=&maxPrice=
The first one would be a bit better, due to an 8ms response time, and 5 dollars cheaper.

I can't get to the rest of your build because the links are broken.

[Dr Studly]

what is the GPU you are using?
what is he using the computer for?
and go into your budget detail more please

 

[holyjunk]

aight
GPU: 32MB nVIDIA M64 Pro Graphics Card (take load off of cpu a little)
he will be using it for more of a multi-tasking, no gaming (if he wants to can get a gpu later), and probably $500, $600
*what do u think of the setup i got on page 1?

 

[Dr Studly]

its alright... but only if it is definate he isn't doing gameing...

hey and is that AGP or PCI?
and are you sure he doesn't want a PCIe slot?
and if he is going to get a good GPU later or mebbe upgrade later, he should get a more upgradable motherboard...

and more detail on your budget...

 

[holyjunk]

well... i still got to ask him some more questions and beings he at college right now, i got to call him gpu is agp - no pciE cause no good gpu i really dont need it right? and what u mean more upgradeable motherboard? - he was going to buy from dell like a $300 one but i convinced him to let me build one and i havnt even built myself one [: i mean i got a dual core so that is good and a gig of ram and can u answer question bout ram on first page? thx

 

[Dr Studly]

i don't think the ram difference would do much... i think the first ram you picked out might be a bit better, but not by much...

and what i mean a by a more upgradable motherboard is that mebbe if his computer parts starts getting old, he can always upgrade (i.e. a mobo that supports PCIe, 4gb ram etc...)

 

[holyjunk]

ya but this would proly last him what 2-3 years with just his needs i mean look at my specs i have had this since 2001 2002 and it still suits me just not for games...so...
