Granted, the prices are still more expensive than if you built your own, but I don't mind giving someone $200-300 if he knows what he's doing. Anyone have experience with "Eddie Z" and TradingComputersNow.com? I don't think that posting a link is against forum rules, but if it is I apologize in advance.
i would look at cpu solutions dot com. I bought a computer there and it rocks. and then viewsonic monitors are sweet for low cost on amaz. i did tons of research, and no my set-up isn't too crazy. i realized i really wanted the intel sandy bridge. and i5 is just as good as i7, for all intensive purposes. and a sweet graphics card like Raedon HD 6800 series and ram is super cheap and hard drives are, well, not as cheap. get an SSD if you have the cash, i think. i didn't, but i've heard good things. hope this helps a little
LOL go to about us on that first website and look at "Who is Eddie Z?" website... what crap youtube video. i couldn't give a guy like that my money
LOL, that's actually why I posted this. The dude's videos are cheesy as hell, but the builds appear to be decent. I do notice he doesn't label the particulars of many of the components though, which is why I was looking for feedback.
