Check out frozencpu.com; u can get a few good parts from them, otherwise either buy a prepackaged computer or ask a nerdy friend.... Always look at the newest technology; Pentium 4, Lanparty motherboard, ATA2 Harddrive, Windows Vista, ATI graphics card

Well I would say go for it but if you are fairly ne this is what you might try. The biggest problem is with the motherboard and CPU that most new builders have. so I would suggest this\nGet a bare bones system this is just a case and powersupply with the motherboard/CPU installed  you decide on what memory video card operating sys. etc. then install those yourself. \nthis method is only slightly more expensive and avoids the major pitfalls but still lets you build your own system\nas for sites for buying hardware and software I would suggest you look at WWW.Pricewatch.com

Build your own is the best way, however, most people aren't inclined to do so, so i would suggest a Dell.

Try going to http://www.pcclub.com/systems_desktops.cfm and choose a default configuration you like then Customize the system with that CPU. =) See how much it comes out to be. PC Club seems to have pretty competitive prices!\n\nHTH (hope that helps)

The systems on those websites are way too expensive.  \n\nAsk a friend for a good custom configuration, buy the parts at www.pricewatch.com, and assemble it yourself.\n\nYou can save at least 30%.

Well that depends on your budget and if you want a desktop or laptop.  I think the cheapest thing you can do is to purchase an off-the-shelf system and then add what you need to it if it does not have everything you want.  Rule #1, never go with a Sempron or Celeron processor, I don't care what you're doing, they're slow for the even most basic tasks.  Rule #2 is slightly harder to avoid and that is never get an integrated graphics chip and again, I don't care what you're doing, integrated graphics are not only slow they also steal from your primary memory.  Rule #3, don't listen to a word the sales people tell you, chances are they don't know about the product they are selling and are poorly informed on how to help you decide what is best for you, fortunately, you have me.  But, you probably knew a good deal of this already, being young and all.  Rule #4 is to try to find one with at least 1GB of memory, however it may not be possible at lower price points and it may end up being cheaper to purchase more memory and install it yourself.\n\nI took the liberty of looking up some desktops under $500 (I'm assuming a limited budget) and the only one with 1GB of memory is this Acer Aspire which has a 200GB SATA hard drive and not too bad for being $500.  The only problems I see are that it claims nVidia graphics and my assumption on this matter is that they mean the Geforce 6100 IGP which isn't horrible but isn't that great either, it will run older games like Doom 3 fine but not games like FEAR or GRAW.  If you need to upgrade the graphics in that (since it has a PCIe x16 slot), go with a Geforce 7600GS or 7600GT depending on your budget.  But all in all that PC should suit your needs quite nicely, provided you don't do heavy gaming or multitasking (like me).  Here's the link, http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Acer-Aspire-trade-Desktop-PC-AST160-UA3402-/sem/rpsm/oid/149055/catOid/-12962/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do\n\nIf you're looking for a laptop, options become narrower and prices go up significantly.  I'm not saying this is the cheapest laptop with the features to look for but if you want one with 1GB of memory, a large hard drive at 100GB (which is large for a laptop) and a dedicated 128MB Geforce 7400 Go graphics card and an Intel Core duo processor at 1.83GHz you will end up spending nearly $1400, http://www.circuitcity.com/rpsm/oid/149457/originURLEncoded/http%253A%252F%252Fwww.circuitcity.com%252Frpsm%252FcatOid%252F-12963%252FNtk%252FAll%252FNtt%252Ftv%252520tuner%252Frpem%252Fccd%252Fcategorylist.do/rpem/ccd/productDetailSpecification.do#tabs\n\nRule #5 is to buy an AMD processor whenever possible, in some cases it is not like with the laptop.  I would rather get an Intel processor + dedicated graphics than an AMD processor with integrated graphics.  I think I covered everything, good luck with your choice.

Sweetheart, you can buy a great computer for that at TigerDirect.\nThere good ones are assembled by SysteMax (don't get the E-machines...lots of problems) and you can have them customized with more memory or a dual screen graphics card if you want. \nHere is a (long) list of Systemax computers for sale at TigerDirect...\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/search.asp?cat=6&keywords=systemax&noredirect=1

Try buying a Intel or Dell. Also, try Yahoo! Searching for mainframe computers.
