Is this a good deal? "Office Depot has the Acer X223Wbd 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor, model no. ET.EV3WP.001, for $149.99 with free shipping. That's $10 under our mention from three weeks ago and the lowest price we've seen since Black Friday (that deal involved substantial rebates). Sales tax...

How about this: Link $729 "Dell Vostro 420 Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4GHz Desktop PC bundled with the Dell E228WFP 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor for $659 with free shipping. Features include an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz quad-core processor, 3GB RAM, 250GB Serial ATA hard drive, DVD burner, ATI...

really? I've heard very different opinions on this matter in these forums.

bump, closer to making a purchase. a 24 monitor has slipped from my budget, so looks like i'll be looking at a 22 before too long. probably be a 22wide and an existing 19 I currently have. I have a Microcenter just down the street from me -- trying to decide if I can get any/most of...

..thought the consensus was that the prices would be going down due to the new cards being announced and available for purchase? I have an itchy trigger finger and was hoping to get a good evga 260 under $200.

When is it supposed to hit? What is the new model number that I can monitor? Also, when looking at all the gtx 260's, what the difference in them? all/most of the specs on each one of these looks the same, except for a manufactuer. How would one choose which to go with, other than just 'go...

is there a way to know if a program can use/is using more than 1 core efficiently? or is there a way to tell/set it up so that it does?

1 month; not likely, prob just the 24"wide and 1 current 19". Looking to make this purchase this week. Still on track as the best deals you guys can find for what I'm looking for? I think I know the answer, but what are the main differences between the 4 vid cards? Just faster as the...

I think the way you wrote the list you forgot to add $130 for the PSU. That's a great list but ultimately above my price range. Using gtx260 gets me down to $897. Still a bit too high. Hmmmm.....

Yes, I will need an OS.

(NOTE: This is a copy from a previous post where I indicated that I'd be building my first system... but that thread looked more like a "I'm new.." thread and less like a "help me with my build..." thread so it got lost in the shuffle. Here's my request for help with a build. Thanks.) It's...

It's time for a new computer. The one I'm currently using, other than some extra memory, is at least 5 years old. So I'm looking at deals and whatnot at dell.com, or gateway, or seeing what I can pick up at the local Best Buy... and then I check websites like this one and see how much more...

let me know how it sells - i have one i'm about to replace.

note to self: don't buy systems from this guy ;)

Alright. 7800 series or the X850 XT PE AGP. ...now where do I find these?! I can't seem to find them online anywhere.
