Is this a good computer setup?

Depends on what you're trying to do with it. I guess it would be alright, but I nvr would have personally bought that. Don't like Macs, Love apples!:P \n1.83 G cpu with 512 M RAM, I think you'll need to upgrade real soon.

250 to 300 bucks tops! Things to consider....your system was almost obsolete 2 days after you built it, you cant compete with factory systems in price!

Depends on what you're going to use the computer for. Gaming? Business?\n\nHow much do you plan on spending?\n\nThese are important details that are needed to solve your question.

sure, as long as it fits the case, cpu, memory, and power supply.\n\nMost companies use proprietary components, so you may have trouble setting it up.

It definately looks like a good computer and Dell is a good brand.  However, it looks like it does not come with Microsoft Office.  So if the productivity software that does come with it is ok for you then I don't see why not.  But if you would like to basically make up your own computer per your preferences I would go to either the HP or Dell website and configure your own.\n\nI've bought an HP laptop for the business I work for through the HP website and haven't had any problems.  I recently, for Christmas, purchase a Dell laptop with no problems.  Both were configured per the our preferences.  One thing I liked about both was the extended warranties & service care.  I purchased, for myself, the total warranty package so that if the dog decided to wiz on it, it would be covered.  Just the other day, the letter F key fell off, I called Dell, they said they would send a technician to my house, I asked if they could come to my work instead and they did with a new keyboard that they reinstalled.  No problems at all.\n\nNow, if you do decide to get either and HP or Dell through the companies website direct, I would suggest you go to www.ebates.com first, sign up with ebates (it's all free).  Once you sign up with ebates, click on the appropriate link for either HP or Dell (Best Buys is in there as well as tons of other companies, business, etc.) and then purchase your laptop that way.  The ebates sign, when you link through their website, provides rebates and I believe both companies are at 2% which is given out in a check quarterly.  I just recently got my daughter a 60 GB ipod video from Target & I'll get a check for $16.00 as they rebate back 4%.  I've gotten almost $500 from ebates, I purchase from Staples, Target, HP, Dell, Best Buys, Circuit City, Office Depot, etc.\n\nGood luck!

This is a top-notch computer. It is extremely high-end and flexible. Games, photos, videos, music, you name it. However, you should spend a hundred dollars buying software for video editing.

Computers consist of many components, each of which is constantly being updated every 2-12 months.  Because of this, there is no way to specify what the latest model is right now, unless you specify the latest model of everything individually.  Even if you did that, not all of the individually newest parts can work together, for instance the newest and best ram may not work in the newest and best motherboard.  I would recommend going to dell or emachines and asking someone there what models they offer that could do what you need it to do.  Quite frankly the most powerful machines out there are way too overpowered and WAY too overpriced for 99.999% of people, so just find something that will do what you want, and you'll be happy.

the processor is REALLY slow, screen tiny, video card is junk, all you can do on it is go on the internet, music, but not at the same time....homework. the Ram is good, but i would just buy a desktop that's a lot better for a little more.\naround 600 bucks you can get a good one that can run music and the internet well, but games will be ok...

That sounds pretty good. For the HDD, go with the raptor 10,000 rpm. You may get less room but it is better for gaming considering that it spins faster and can get more items from it faster. As frot he motherboard, you need the SLI if you are going to connect two video cards via SLI connecter. If not than go with the other one.

You could probably build the exact same system for a lot cheaper, but if you can't do that I'd buy that.  Is that Pentium D a dual core processor?  If it is, I'd go for it.  I'd put this PC's worth at about 1500-2000, but that's just my opinion, I would wait for some others.

Video card selection depends a lot on your motherboard capabilities, so make sure you don't overspend your abilities.  Check out www.tomshardware.com for some reviews.  Good luck!

With those specs, you're NOT going to find this computer cheap at all.  You get what you pay for and that would be an incredible computer but again, you will have to pay for it expensively.  Do you even understand how much a 24" screen 'alone' would cost as much as a pc?    good luck :-)

I'd get a high-end Alienware computer, if I could afford it. Whatever you get, I'd make sure it has a slot for an AGP or PCI Express card. It may come with an onboard graphics card, but if it does, I'd have a good one installed right away. Your computer is only as fast as your slowest component.

You'll need a computer case, motherboard, cpu, cpu fan, cd/dvd drive, hard drive, memory, video card, keyboard, mouse, monitor and operating system software.  Below are links with instruction and places to purchase all of these components. It can take about 4 hours from start to finish.\n\nAsus motherboards are very good\nAMD Athlon 64 processor\n256mb PCI-xe videocard\n1gb memory\nDVD&#92;CD burner\nWindows XP
