Just go to your local computer store, most small places custom build computers, but you have to know what you want to put in it.

I custom built my comp around 2 years ago.

I have a Thermaltake Xaser III Case (Black)
Athlon XP 2.4GHz
1GB RAM
128 MB ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
120 GB HD
DVD Burner
9 Case Fans
Blue Cathod Light
Plexiglass side panel

I had to cut costs somewhere so I am still using my old monitor from my first ever system. Its a 17 inch monitor but it still works fine so why replace it I guess.

**hoverbike** · 09-17-2005

How did a guest come in here? My computer is still very old and shameful to the new computers but I think I will get 256 MB of SDRAM real soon.

**Aza** · 09-17-2005

I have an AMD Athlon64 3200 cpu
1gb Corsair DDR ram

As for what I want, well that all depends on whats out next year.
PC components change so fast its impossible to know what to get.

**smitty61** · 09-18-2005

Halo plays without lag, and it's set to medium, so, not bad. I also use a Logitech Trackball mouse (the side-mounted kind), and it works wonders with Halo!

**smitty61** · 09-18-2005

How expensive is a good 200GB hard drive Sony VAIO?

**Used2EatAtArbys** · 09-18-2005

I built mine myself, and with a little help from my dad three years ago. I was only 12.

Pentium 4 1.5GHZ, 400 MHZ FSB
120 GB Hard Drive, and a 40 GB one
GeForce 4 Ti4600 128 MB Video Card
768 MB of RDRAM
SoundBlaster Audigy 2
Sony DVD Burner
Sony DVD Reader
17 inch CRT Monitor
Logitech Z-640 5.1 Speakers

I paid for it with the money I got from good grades. I got 300 dollars in 6th grade for getting this Presidential award for academics or something. The I got 300 more dollars in 8th grade for making Laurel Honor Society, which was like you had to get a 3.5 GPA average. And my parents paid for the rest.

My Dad's computer kicks ass though.

Two Intel Xeon 2.4 GHZ Processors, 400 MHZ FSB
Two 74 GB 10,000 RPM Hard Drives
250 GB SATA Hard Drive
1.5 GB of RDRAM
ATI FireGL 128 MB Video Card
SoundBlaster Live
21 inch Sony CRT Monitor
19 inch Sony LCD Monitor
Plextor DVD Burner
Sony DVD Reader

**Zach730** · 09-19-2005

I was wondering for everyone who has a notebook. Did your notebook come with a cable input slot for dsl or jusr regular cable connection? Mine just arrived and I realiezed it had no cable hook up.(just modem) That really bites for I wanted to use it to play games. . .

256MB of RAM
17" CRT screen

)
And 40Gig Hard Drive.

My computer struggles playing the sims (i'm talking about the first one

), it can't even surf the net without any problems...

Exceuse me while i put a bag over my head.

And to think this game would've been uber poweful back in the day

**hoverbike** · 09-20-2005

Steroyd How can your computer stuggle with 256 MB of RAM when I have 32 MB od RAM and the Sims lags a little? I'm going to put 256 MB of SDRAM in my computer in 1 hour and your saying 256 MB will still lag?

On the bright side for you your computer is better then mine except I have a DVD burner.

**Zach730** · 09-21-2005

I use to complain about my computer but now I got a spankin new one with:

-NOTEBOOK!
-AMD 64 3200+
-2GB RAM
-DVD Burner
-128 MB of video memory
-Kicks ass playing BF2
-Wireless card (something)/g
-$1,500!

O.K i exaggerated a little, it chuggs along when the smallest of things happens though, but i think it depends on the OS you use.

I had a Windows ME, and the first sims ran O.K but the framerate dropped every now and then (yeah i know...weird).

But when i upgraded to Windows XP...BANG, computer crashed everytime i tried to load it, and when it did work it'd only work for a while before my computer starts draggings it's heels.

Don't get me started on the sims 2

two words..."barely playable" it'd take 10-30 minutes just to rotate the camera!!

**Zach730** · 09-21-2005

i bought mine from HP. It may not be the best brand but this is their top model to most people.

http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/sh...computer_store

**hoverbike** · 09-21-2005

That's what I thought Steroyd. I see a big improvement in speed but since my computer only see's 128 MB that means it's faster. I need help with that problem.

**Perfect Sin** · 09-21-2005

Damn i just customized their top model with nearly maxed out features for around $1800...HP has some sweet prices, and even better FREE Upgrades.

EDIT- Scratch that made it even better for 1900

Some of you may remember I bought that video card recently when I found out this crap mobo has no AGP slots. I'm living off that till Christmas break when I go to NY and buy a new mobo and video card (preferably a Gigabyte mobo and a Sapphire X800). Haven't played much PC games on it, but I did finish playing Warhammer 40k: DoW on it awhile back. I'm saving up some cash until then and so far I got $33 US dollars... Pathetic, I know, but my birthday is coming up in November and I'm hoping for some cash then. If all else fails, I get it all for Christmas.
