Through a program at the hospital we participated in i am getting a "check" about 850 dollars. Only thing is it has to be spent on something educational. They will also allow us to spend it on electronic devices. Computers, laptops, PDA's etc....
my desktop is about 8 years old so its def time to go. Just wanted to hear some input or recommendations on what to go for. I will use it mostly to surf the net and store music, pics and maybe some video, but thats about it. Also I need to submit something before the end of the year, an dam not sure about sales tax. Tom |

Nah... get a fuckin laptop... I've had less problems with laptops then desktops... plus portability and run wireless internet at your house... sit where ever you want... then leave your desktop hook up... and setup network printing thru that desktop.

I am partial to the higher speeds, higher volume of memory for everything (2 terabytes is nice, but I needz MOAR!!!), easily upgradable desktops. Run media center and have it connected through your xbox to your HDTV and you got a party.

I would get a laptop. I wouldn't get a Dell though.

It gets tricky when you go Vista and XP... if that is your problem.

Thinking about that myself, but by the time I get software it will end up more expensive. Besides my son will use it for school mainly. If it were for me, then double throw down, give me the best you got, so I can build it myself!
