So much for setting budgets……..I ended up spending $1300.

I picked up another HP from Sam’s Club. I wandered through all the PC stores and this looked to be the best bang for the buck.

It came with a monitor (HP w22 22” monitor), wireless HP keyboard and mouse. Some bundled software that I wont use.

Intel Core2 Duo E4300 processor w/ 1.8 ghz, 2 MB L2 Cach, 800 mghz front side bus (yeah, like I know what the hell all that means)
Intel ViiV technology (U-hu, yep I know that means too)
2048 MB PC2-4200 DDR2 SDRAM
320 GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA hard Drive
Super Multi DVD Burner with Light Scribe Tech
Nvidia Geforce 7350 LE Granffics card
Dual NTSC HD TV Tuner

So now I get to move all my files over from old to new. This may be my farewell post.
