I know everyone out there has a different favorate but does anyone have a recomendation on where I can get a good solid PC that can handle the demands of new games like battlefield 2 but won't cost me $1000+ to get?
Thanks,

well you could go to websites such as scan.co.uk and they will build you one, with your won specifications

**lazyman4444** · January 22nd, 2006, 05:37 PM

www.cyberpowerpc.com

www.ibuypower.com

These are goods sites, doesnt cost too much more then if you would build one yourself.

If you resell computers, you will have to talk to our sister site, ResellerRatings about running ads. You may not post them here.

Haha you do that with your 512 MB of RAM.

**FlyinHawaiian** · February 2nd, 2006, 09:24 PM

What I did, and doing for my next one is getting the parts and having my friend do it for $10. Do you have friends? I mean that can build computers lol.

First one: $700 -- AMD 3500+ Clawhammer/1gb(512mbx2)/GIGABITE K8N SLI Mobo/2x Western Digital 74gb/GeForce 6800 GS/DVD Burner/CD Burner/Antec Sonata case w/ Power supply/ Windows OS

Second one: $440 -- AMD 3000+ Venice/512mb DDR/ASUS mobo/WD 160gb HD/GeForce 6600 GT/DVD-CDrw combo drive/Antec case w. power supply/ Linux (windows soon)

You can customize your computer any way you like, and if you have a store that you like alot or has good deals, it'll be real cheap.

LOL

**DarkStar02** · February 2nd, 2006, 10:25 PM

lol i think you should just stop posting now.

**towlies high** · February 2nd, 2006, 11:37 PM

so u can build a computer 20 bukc slabor..then ship...for free??wheres the profit..scam.

**SpaceSquad** · February 3rd, 2006, 12:27 AM

mckeescorcher, the reason I said suuuure you can is because you had only one post...you very much seem (and still do), like a scammer....

CyberPower and IbuyPower have excellent ratings, alot of people here stand by them.

I also dont think you have any idea what you're talking about...especially after you sound like a moron posting 4 times in a row.

edit/ wow...just read some of the other posts...Athlon XP 64 bit processor, eh? Lmao, and windows XP running under 150mb of ram running CoD 2...

**Micro Bean** · February 3rd, 2006, 12:43 AM

Shesh Seriously I just built a comp for just under a grand and here is the specs

Mobo: Abit AN8 SLI skt 939
CPU: AMD 64 3700+ skt 939
Video: Radeon X1600 Pro 512mb PCI-E
HD: WD Caviar 320gig Sata 16mb 72krpm
Mem: Patriot Sig 2x 1gig Dual Channel kit PC3200 (2gig total)
Case: ASpire X Navigator 450W PSU
roms: Sony DVD +/-RW DL & Liteon DVD-rom
WinXp Pro
etc etc...I dont think this is a bad rig considering its just under $1000 Ive seen people build comps with 512mb and 80 gig HD with cheap budget mobos and sell it for like 800-900 bucks which is insane!

But anywho thats just my thought on it....This system has been running for a month now perfectly stable and no problems at all

**RetroEvolute** · February 3rd, 2006, 01:04 AM

Personally though... I'd still build my own... I built a very nice computer for my friend for about 700 bucks.

A64 3200+ Venice, 1gb (2x512) 2.5 CS latency ram, 250gb HDD, DFI NF4-Ultra, 6600gt...

Very nice, runs like a charm.

I'm just sayin'... If you have the time, money, and willingness... I'd go for it yourself.

Runs high-graphics games fine.

**Micro Bean** · February 3rd, 2006, 01:15 AM

I agree aswell on building on my own..But as for people who dont have any knowlegde on the ins and outs of a comp get scammed buy people....

Heres a Place you can go for cheap comps I know most of them are emachines but Do what I did heheh they have decent PC for the price just add Video card since most are onboard and get a new case

Its at your own risk but hey everything is a risk

TigerDirect

for like 400-500 bucks let alone the processor HD ram etc etc cost abit more cheers I dont really give much about there warranty anywho Hey this is just my opinion :P

**Micro Bean** · February 3rd, 2006, 01:22 AM

Well I know this comp is refurbished but for this price it isnt bad at all

check it out

**RetroEvolute** · February 3rd, 2006, 01:28 AM

Yeah dude.... Definately... Not sure about the mobo, and I'd get another gpu, but that CPU is a lil better than mine... And it's got lots of neat features.

**mckeescorcher** · February 3rd, 2006, 09:50 AM

the reason I only had one post is because I had just barely found thie message board, on a web search.
and it is true I got my computer to run just under 150 MB of memory, simply because I use the best memory possible, and I know what doesnt have to run in windows that normally would. if you dont believe me thats your one fault.

**dzee** · February 3rd, 2006, 10:24 AM

Oh ya great! lets build a computer with 512 ram & wait for it.... a DVD BURNER!!!

Oh my gosh all that for just $900!? bargain!!! you even get windows xp64!! just think a pc that will never need upgrading! imagine the endless gaming possibilities!!
i want a dozen right now!

ROFL ROFL ROFL.....ROFL

if you can do that, take a screen shoot of win task manager on the performance page, full screen and at a good res so i can see it properly. $900 is what in £'s? lol, $20 for labour...can we pick up direct? If we can, i'd be happy to get in touch with the correct government agency to go and check your place out. sound good?

**mckeescorcher** · February 3rd, 2006, 12:39 PM

I put one post up about how I could build someone a computer and all I hear is Waa Waa Waa. when are you people going to grow up and realize the world doesnt revolve around you, plus I never said what method i used.
