Cheapest Way To Get A Good Computer

[Toe]

I really would like a new computer, but I don't have much cash to blow. My current 1.8 Ghz Pentium 4 with a GeForce 4 MX 64 Megs kinda is showing some age, and is starting to piss me off. Any suggestions on how to get a new computer for the cheap?

buy a Mac G5, the shit is so good it will still sell for whats almost todays new price in 3 years, so by than you just sell it and pay a cupple of hundret more for the in that time current nr. 1 model.

do not go for discount PCs, they all suck.

Matzat, it's in the arcade so presumably he wants to be able to play games on it~!

Well what most people do these days is build their own computer, buying parts off sites like newegg.com and putting them together. If you want a mega gaming computer, that's the cheapest way to go, because Alienware are just plain rip-offs. But seeing as you're on a low budget, you could always try eBay. (Y)

Is the PC upgradeable? More RAM, a new video card and possibly a new processor could be cheaper and give you the same performance a new computer would.

Yeah, I think I may just go with the new video card, because everything else is still good, or at least that is what people tell me.

The easiest way to get a cheap computer is to buy the parts seperately and build it yourself, so easy

We use mac's at TAFE for our Graphic Design course. All they do is crash. I HATE THOSE FUCKING THINGS~!

They are supposedly the tool of our industry, but our Animation lecturer hates them, and I agree with him.

Worst. Computer. EVER!
