Go to PC world and buy an eMachines or Compac. You should only be spending @£500 - £600 My 12 yr old has a Compac Presario and My 9yr old has a eMachines.The eMachines is a very good spec' and will cost @£500. The Compac is more capable, but would cost you @£650. Both are used for Online Gaming, School Work (We installed Microsoft Office Student and Teacher Edition on both.)\nYou only need to spend @£650+ if you want higher end graphics.

Find one on eBay! You'll probably want a branded one if you are not much of a computer person. They also come with technical support and really they are quite cheaper than if you had someone build you one from scratch. This is because a giant like Dell gets their parts in huge quantities and therfore pays MUCH less than a small computer shop would. The savings is passed on to you. And, if you ever decide to sell your PC and get a newer one, you'll find it easier to sell a branded and modeled unit versus a no-namer.

1) pricewatch.com\n2) tigerdirect.com (I've never had a problem, just check the merchant reviews before you buy and make sure they're not horrible.  Also check the return policies.)\n3) Yard sales\n4) Local used computer resellers\n5) Thrift Shops

Try http://www.tigerdirect.com or http://www.netegg.com They usually have refurbished cheap computers for low prices.\n\nIf you want to see consumer reports on computers, then check out http://www.cnet.com\n\nIf you want really good but expensive computers or laptops, try Dell or Toshiba.\n\nGateway and Compaq sucks.

Go to pricewatch.com.  They are pretty good about tracking the prices of computer parts from multiple retailers, and they tell you what components are selling for at various places.  It's kind of like a one-stop-shop kind of thing.  \n\nOh yeah, and like the person above said, Ebay is a GREAT place to find parts dirt cheap.  Just be careful not to get stuck with bad stuff, but they do have TONS of computer parts for a little of nothing.\n\nGood luck.

Let us know what the closest main city is for help.  I find local computer places are much better than the big box stores.  Especially price-wise.  Look in your yellow pages for a store that services computers and sells re-furbished ones.  They're the ones that will use the parts they have on hand instead of trying to sell you special order stuff, or a whole new computer for that matter.

That really depends on several factors like:  what you will use it for, your budget, and your level of computer expertise.  \n\nIf you have enough technical savvy, there is no "best brand".\nAfter a while, most folks figure out a thing or two about their computers and begin to upgrade/modify parts themselves.  Performance is what matters, and brand loyalty takes a back seat.\n\nBut assuming you're not at that point yet, you have several options...\n\nYou could try Dell.  Their computers are fairly inexpensive and will get the job done for most purposes.  Their computers also tend to be loaded with a lot of extra unnecessary software.  Their customer support is also outsourced overseas, so be prepared to be treated like an 11-year old if you ever call and need help. (that could be a good or bad thing depending on how you see things)  \n\nYou could try Apple.  If you're not bothered by what Operating System you use, they offer good computers with good customer support.  They tend to be pricier though.  You'll also have a smaller selection of software and hardware to choose from.\n\nIf you know exactly what you want try alienware.com or newegg.com  These online venders aren't the lowest priced out there, but they have a good reputation and will offer you a solid deal.\n\nAlso, after you've bought your computer and begin to tinker/upgrade your computer, try pricewatch.com  It's a good spot to get components without paying premium prices.

Dell has one going for right now.  You can get a desktop for $350.00 (which is very good for a brand new one, especially a Dell).

There's a variety of different computer outlets that sell computer-related stuff online.  If you're looking to purchase from them, one of the things to check for is that they're "VeriSigned".  This means their secure with your personal information.  Secondly look for an address and phone number for the company on their website.  If possible, call the phone number to verifiy the legitimacy of the company.\n\nIf you cannot find both mentioned above, then it's buyer beware.  If you'd like a suggestion to a company that's like Geeks.com, try NewEgg.com

try www.newegg.com or www.tigerdirect.com \n\nThey usually have the best prices.  Never buy computer components from ebay unless its a dealer.  I have heard tons of stories about people buying comp parts, and getting junk

go to DELL.com, they have great prices on desk tops and laptops.  Not worth buying one second hand.
