New Computer Needed

Quote from cartm:

Thanks for the replies..........I built one a few yrs ago, and I am not sure I did a good job, looking for a good motherboard 512ddr 2.5 800fsb, xp pro and a dvd rw. No vid card or anything else even the case doesn't matter too much to me. I have built one at cyberpowerinc for around $850 does anyone know where I can get a better deal or is this the best out there right now?

Also, what is gig ethernet? Is that a motherboard or part of a motherboard, or a ethernet card? I was looking at comparisons using hyperthreading along w this and the specs looked good.......I think it was cpu mag....... any comments appreciated..............ty

FYI: There are used , off-lease boxes widely available that are one-two years old that are plenty fast for multi monitor setups and quite a bit of real-time analytical work. These can be had for around 300.00. Much cheaper than new and much easier than building.
 
Every now and then Dell builds up a bunch of inventory in their "refurbished" department and they have to blow these machines out. Plus, you get the same Dell Warranty as offered on "new" machines.

I picked up a P4 at 2.60 with 512mb of RAM and an 800 FSB on Windows XP for $775.00 in early July.

End of quarter is usually a good time for Dell deals. I think it was waggie who had a discussion about power supplies, they are important, esp. with powerfull vid cards.

Cal, where would I go to look into the off lease thing?

We get ours through dell. if you dont have a business arrangement with them then there are many vendors that are resellers and refurbishers. These can also be had on Ebay although it is usually cheaper to go direct.

I need to buy a few new computers, but as much time as I do spend on them I am a complete computer idiot. Can someone tell me what I should get, and also purhaps where I can get it?

Thank you,
Brandon

Since you are in Minneapolis go to General Nanosystems in Dinkytown which is a white box maker. They can set you up with some nice stuff, customized. Nice looking, shiny magnesium/aluminum cases.
