Package deal by (Premier Login ripperproductions) Janitors

If you have a Micro Center nearby, go there. They have the best prices and you can buy a complete system, in pieces, for alot less than any Dell pile of shit that will explode shortly after you get it home.

You can basically tell them what you want and they can put a package together for you or you can ignore the "can we help you sir?" questions and pick out your own stuff, which is what I usually do unless I'm totally in the dark about what I want (it happens, alot more lately).

Things change so fast these days, you can buy top of the line stuff and have it be outdated by the time you get to the checkout counter. Most people have absolutely no need for the latest gadgets anyway. I'm on the computer 20 hours a day and I don't have anything that would be considered state of the art. Not even remotely close. I don't do any serious gaming, however, which seems to be the most resource hungry, other than advanced video stuff. Even my music recording software could run on a 486, although it likes faster CPUs and more memory like any other software does.

Funny, my games don't even run properly in a Windows environment. I have one K7 system that runs DOS 6.22 and I run games on that machine, for the most part. I'm an old fashioned kind of guy....... I tried running emulators and split partitions, but I have so many machines laying around, it's actually easier to set up a different machine for each purpose. It is hard to keep track of all the KVM switching I need to do though.......
