Re: OFF TOPIC Custom Computer Manufacturers

["Gary Randall" <grandall@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I totally agree with David.  I just built 
a fast AMD Athlon machine for $675 delivered without monitor, 
speakers, and software.  It took about two hours to build and the usual one 
week to get Windows installed several times and 
everything working.  Now I have a totally upgradeable machine 
that I know thoroughly.
 
I bought everything from NewEgg.com and can't say 
enough about their service - 3 1/2 day delivery of everything from California to 
Maine, all on the Internet without a phone call.  Their web site lets you 
research the products and store your wish list on-line before 
ordering.  You can even ask other builders to rate your design.  The 
only disadvantage is that they don't provide detailed technical 
advice.  You have to be able to solve the problems.  They do have an 
excellent return policy and their customers rave about the service.
 
There are several hardware review sites.  Try 
www.tomshardware.com for 
starters.

  Neo,
   
  Firstly, have you tried to defragment your hard 
  drive. Seriously,  as someone who speaks from experience, why not build 
  your own. It's very easy. You'll need to set aside a day, but if you have 
  researched the problem well enough to specify your own machine,  then 
  putting it together yourself is v. easy.
