Computer Help

How much would you expect to pay for a brand new top-of-the-line computer? $2000? $1500?

           Depending upon your needs, and what you have to start  with, you can have a new computer built for you for less than $500!  You see, if you are replacing an existing system then you probably already have

• Case
• Monitor
• Keyboard
• Mouse
• Hard Drive  
• Video Card
• Modem or Network Card
• Speakers
• CD/DVD Rom Drive
• Floppy Drive

    which leaves only the guts of the system to upgrade.

Motherboard         ~$125
Processor             ~$175
Memory                ~$125

            For something under $500 in parts you can have a system that will outperform other leading manufacturer's $2000 systems. Of course, the particulars depend upon the designated purpose of the machine . If you anticipate heavy video editing, you will want a newer video card. If you are going to be archiving data, growing your MP3 collection, or storing movies, then you will need a much larger hard drive.

            Even if you were starting from scratch, all of the parts needed to put together a high end machine would weigh in at under $1000. So why do leading manufacturers charge $2000 for the same machine? Because they can.

            The bottom line is why pay more for a new computer system than you have to? Have your next computer custom built just for your needs; just for you.
