Need New Comp.

Post by Krazy Kraut »

I am looking to get a new computer. It doens't have to be too fancy. It doesn't need to make coffee when I press a button or anything like that.

I just need something better than my crappy

Pentium 3 933mhz
256mb SDRAM
40 gig HDD
64mb Geforce 4 MX 420.


I am looking to spend between 600 and 800 dollars.

If you need a new one, go to http://www.newegg.com and configure a system. Just so you know, in the hardware forum, if you post we will make a system up for you. This usually results in the best prices and comatibility.
