    Red face Computer Chooser?

    He he he... Yea, I am actually looking for a " computer chooser ". U know, they are on some sites, but I can't find them anymore, the one where they ask tones of question, and give you the appropriate computer for you... So if you guys know where they are, you've hit the right place... Thanks...

    Go buy a Dell or Gateway, you can build your own or choose one prebuilt.

    just tell us what you need it for and what you mainly use it for, etc. Like whats more important gaming or audio? that would determine the audio card & the speaker setup. are you going to watch DVDs. Put a post up.
