When it comes to custom
built computers here are the simple questions to answer...
1. Do you want the evil Windows
Vista or Windows XP Professional? (As of yet no one has wanted to
buy Windows Vista from us!)
2. Do you want a video card?
The video card has a heat sink twice the size of the heat sink that is
on the main motherboards of the computers that have "on board" video. Less
heat, less crashes, in theory longer life.
We will never sell Windows HOME
Edition anything or Celeron processors because we like our customers and
don't want to expose them to that kind of abuse. So with that being said...
3. The slowest speed AMD Sempron
processor costs $50 and the 2nd fastest processor is about $200.
Middle of the road is about $135. So which do you prefer? At times,
this spread in price is even less. We have seen recently middle of the
road was $20 less than 2nd fastest.
4. It is doubtful you can fill an
80 GB hard drive unless you download DVD movies and store them on your
computer. We offer up to 500 GB. Our computer have expansion areas
so you can even have 2 500 GB hard drives if you wish. Example 48 GB of
MP3 files is roughly 24 hrs a day for 30 days of music without playing
the same song twice.
What size hard drive?
5. New (not reconditioned) in 19"
LCD monitors are $5 more than 17". I think that is a "No brainer."
All 15" are refurbised or used.
19" LCD correct?
6. Do you want Microsoft Windows?
We always sell real Microsoft Windows with a Certificate of Authenticity
with a serial number that will reinstall and a real Microsoft Windows CD
ROM! Dell & HP/Compaq have never been able to say that.
7. Do you want your computer ready
to plug in and run when you buy it? Our computers are up to date
with virus programs and Windows updates at time they were built.
8. Do you want to use your laptop
for 3+ years? NO laptop we have ever sold has had a problem with the power
cord area breaking and rendering the laptop unusable like HP's.
9. Do you want a place to
have your computer quality serviced? We service what we sell and
all others too.
