computer advice needed please (106)

thanks melt but red wine is going no where near my $1500 lappy

For $1500... your lappy would want to come with a tongue pre-installed.

it did

I am thinking of buying this PC from a computer store .. what do you think? is it a good deal?

I have looked aorund at name brands and they want another $500-$1000 on top of this price for the same components



Intel Core2 E8400 Gaming System-XP Home

Price: $1,279.00
•Model: nutsys-e8400-gam


***Intel Core2 E8400 3.0Ghz Computer System ***GA-G31m-eS2L Motherboard ***4Gb DDR2 800Mhz RAM ***500Gb SataII Hard Drive ***LG GH22NS30 DVD Burner ***1Gb GeForce GTS250 Graphics Card ***Standard ATX Midi Tower case HLC503SB ***Microsoft Optical Mouse & Keyboard ***Benq 22inch G2220HD LCD Monitor ***2.1 Sub Speaker system ***Windows XP Home Edition ***12Mths Onsite Warranty for Hardware supplied by nutech.

I have sent them an email to find out if it has a wireless network card, card reader and TV tuner but as yet I havent had a reply.

I always feel a bit hesitant to buy no name brands but it seems like a good deal to me... my last PC was a generic brand as well and I have never had any trouble with it in the 7+ yrs I have had it

It depends on what you want it for.

It might be a bit much unless you want it for gaming.

my boys will use it for gaming and I will get into my SIMS again once I get it

is it an alright price tho ?

Seems alright as far as value for money.
