i judt got a pair of senn hd280's and i absolutely love them. I bought them for 80$ and i think they were worth every penny.

Linksys all the way, Dlink is a piece of crap.

that should be fine, if your not gaming with it and only doing minimal photoshop i think that would do it just fine. The dell 1200 you cen get for around $600 and it has everything you just spelled out there, 512 of ram, lower end celeron processor and 40gb hard drive.

i can get a refurb ibook for $699 so i might just go that route instead, but i am not sure i would end up getting a 20" display, no real need for something like that right now with my current traveling situation and such.

that is what they say, but i won't believe it until i see it. The new mxm technology is for swappable video cards in laptops but i think it will take a while to actually get off the ground, plus they will probobly be expensive when they do.

all of those 30-40% of coupons are not for the XPS though which sucks. I do agree though, the 7800 go is supposed to come out very soon so it may pay to wait a little bit.

trust me, they'll have to pry my 9300 from my cold dead hands, i am keeping this baby :D. I am trying to set up my own network with all kinds of cool stuff in it. I just bought my 9300, 2 cisco 2612 routers and a 1924 and 2924 switch. I still am thinking about getting a lower end pc to run...

sorry here's the link http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820144183

I saw a deal on newegg for some kingston ram so that would be good chips to jump on?

on that same note then, which kind would you guys recommend? I know it uses ddr pc4200 533mhz ram, but what type of brands do you think are better then other in terms of performance?

The XPS is awesome, i have a 9300 and its amazing, but the xps has the 6800 ultra which is a better card. If you got the money to spend on it i say go for it. You can pay more then the minimum monthly payment as well to pay it off sooner. As for the warranty, never had to use mine so i really...

I have an i9300 that i am very happy with i was thinking about getting a mini but i am moving to korea and that is the reason i got a laptop to replace my desktop. I will eventually need a monitor though to do everything i want with my cisco lab. Also, can i run linux on a mac? If so is it easy...

I still find coupons for 40% from dell at fatwallet.com but not as often as i used too. If you can manage one i say the dell is the best choice, but sager would be 2nd.

I have an inspiron 9300 with 512x2. I was wondering how much bumping it to 1024x2 would help in pushing gaming farther? Would i notice a few more fps with it bumped up or would it just be for load times of maps and such?

This may seem unrelated but i have a two year degree in CIS and i wish i would have gone for the full 4 year in CS. Regardless i started an internship in college and continued it and found out i didn't make the money i was hoping to. So i ended up in the air force with a nice cushy computer job...
