I'm not looking for the latest, top of the line computer, just something that will run a reasonable number of programs without bogging down like crazy. I'm just looking for a tower, possibly even a barebones system, and I wanted to see what everyone's suggestions might be.
It'll be replacing a Pentium II and 12 GB hardrive, so just about anything will be an improvement.
Thanks!

Yeah, make sure you build it yourself, if you buy from dell or somewhere, you'll be throwing on a few extra hundred bucks and it won't be exactly what you want. Give us a range of what you might want to pay, I'll run some numbers for ya

Pentium 2... Just like mine.  Well i upgraded.
I can help you choose the parts. It just depends on your budget. |

I'd like to build this computer, but I'm actually looking for a prebuilt (gasp!) system this time. I know I'll pay a little extra and/or get a lower quality machine, but it's nice to be guaranteed everything will work together. (Not having to worry about form factor, power supply, etc.)
I was also possibly thinking along the lines of refurbished, but I'm open to ideas. What brands have a reputation for offering fairly quality systems pretty inexpensively?
Thanks again!

Fair price for a complete system if you ask me, though I'm no fan of ordering stuff online. Quality defenately won't be a problem. |
