19" LCD Hyundai
260gig HD
52X DVD & CD Burners
1 gig RAM
Epson Stylius Printer+Scanner
ATi Radeon x300 128mb

Price for pc: $1099
Monitor: $300
Printer+Scanner: $100 but with a $100 mail rebate

I'm very satisfied, tell me what you think.

 
The comp could probably done a bit cheaper, but it should be pretty kick-ass for non-gaming.

What combinations of HD's are you using to get 260GBs?
 
Hmm... $1100 could get you something better than that. Oh, and you don't have a motherboard either, it might be nice to have...

Antec Performance TX1088AMG w/ 480W PSU ($140)
EPoX EP-9NPA+ Ultra Motherboard ($105)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ ($322)
Corsair ValueSelect 2GB (2x1GB) RAM ($180)
WD Caviar SE 250GB SATA HDD ($110)
EVGA GeForce 6800GS PCI-E ($195)

Grand total comes to $1052, which creates a better system for less than your original price. Don't worry about the CPU being slower than the 4200+, you could just do some overclocking, or leave it as-is, which would still be a fast CPU.
 
O sorry i meant 250gigs. Its 1 HD.

I don't game at all. So thats why i'm not really crazy about the vid card. I need CPU speed and RAM for the stuff i'm using the pc for.

Xanis, you're probably right but the thing is, the only way i could get it is if we got it on credit.

If i wanted to buy each part so i could build it myself, i have to wait untill March.

Thanks for the feedback.
 
If it were me, I would wait until you can build the system yourself. You'll get better components,etc. Of course you will have to factor in the cost of an OS, that is if you plan on using Window$.
