Going PC shopping....what should I look for? - 02/08/07 05:22 PM
It's time to get anther one of these silly things tonight / towmorrow. My current PC is about three years old and has too many little things wrong with it for me to even try and deal with. RE: I'm an impatient pr***
I don't game, I don't do any video editing, I don't do much of anything with it really. I use Auto Cad / Turbo Cad Pro, store my pictures, read these boards....not much.
Oh, I hate computers and they hate me. It's an odd relationship, but it works.
I'm going for one of the "under $1000" el' cheapo's that are sitting on the shelves in the big box stores. You know the ones, Best Buy, Sam's club, Comp USA....etc.
When I get it, I'll just network it to this one, transfer my files / programs and then re-format the hard drive on this POS. The Boy can have this one if it survives the reformatting process.
So are there any brands I should avoid? Any processor preferences? I think the only thing I would like is a big assed hard drive so I can load CD's in a lossless format. I'd like to burn a CD ever now and then too.
