Hey thanks for any help I get offered here appreciate it. I'm planning to buy a custom made computer in OSAN Korea I'm in the military and this computer seems to be the best offered at this shop I'd appreciate any comments about this computer and if its worth the price they are asking.

 

Sorry if there was a special way of posting topics I had no time to read any special instructions I know some websites have you do it a special way so if i did let me know

For that price you could get a dell one with a monitor and a better processor:

For $1,799 you would get just about everything the same but you would get a faster processor, 19in lcd, and it would be coming from dell a major company where you could get a warranty if you were to leave where your staying anytime soon.

 

With HP you could get a better computer for about the same price if you customize it here(they are offering free 2gig upgrades and 19in monitor upgrades):

You would actually get a better deal then dell.

 

$1,589.99

Whoa dude, don't do it. That's a huge waste of money - that computer isn't worth half the price they want.

 

Edit: Look at this:

1326.78$ USD, that plus the cost of shipping....

 

If you need speakers/kb/mouse:

Keyboard/Mouse - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16823126180

 

1504.76$ without shipping.... ..to my house it's $1,557.84.

 

I didn't even try to find the deals on those products and I spent almost five hundred dollars less than you, and it includes a 22" LCD/Speakers/Kb/Mouse, and most of all a decent PSU. The one that comes with a case is horrible.

I'd also recommend thinking whether to start using Vista on this computer or not. I bought pretty powerful computer recently, with Core Duo 2 6600 @ 3.2 mHz (overclocked on site), 2 Gb DDR2, 500 Gb Samsung Spinpoint, etc. but instead of Vista, I took trusty old XP instead. Mainly because of Vista's compatibility problems with many software and hardware, but also because it really takes a lot of RAM. That shop even recommended XP instead for this set.

 

Of course, it's your choice.

Well stay with windows XP until Vista has sp1 out

Why? Vista is a crippled operating system, SP1 or not. It's defective by design. Vista users seeking all the incompatibility and sluggishness should go download an alpha release of a Linux distro and put KDE on it (though to be honest KDE is getting faster).

But

 

http://distrowatch.com/ Do not work

[rridgely]

It works fine for me.

[airport101]

Now it works thanks

[JAGO]

Not sure how this turned into a test-drive of Linux, but let me give you the 101: It's an Operating System, and does require installation. It's not like Windows in a lot of senses, and can be a little odd to get used to (though windows managers like XFCE, GNOME, and KDE are very user-friendly).
