Need help buying a Desktop
 

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew of a sick deal I could get for a desktop, monitor optional.

Not looking for anything crazy but I wanted to get into some music and video editing and my current computer is not cutting it.

Saw that Dell had a deal for $299 with a 17" monitor but I'm sure its junk.

Thanks.

I've always went with Dell even though their computers always crash after about 2-3 years

www.dell.com make sure you get the 1-3 year warranty and you should be fine. for $299 with a monitor its good for typical web browsing, email, etc. when it dies if its still under warranty get dell to fix it. or just buy another.

try asus or dell.. .. .

Get a dual-cpu if you can afford it, they seem to run more smooth than a single CPU box - even when the actual speed is slower, maybe it's just me that finds that though.

I think i'm just gonna build one, its still fairly cheap.
