Re: New Computer

I enjoy building my own too. But with prices the way they are, I like having a warranty for about the same price.<br /><br />I got a P4 3.0 GHZ, 160 GB ATA HardDrive, 512 MB Ram, DVD, DVD + - RW, Windows XP Pro, 17 in Flat Panel. For $868, no tax, free shipping.<br /><br />AK Chappy

No,<br />Don't have to pay taxes then either....One of the benefits of being shopping through military channels.<br /><br />Now for the bad news.<br />After swapping all files over, I was dusting out the case of the old computer. I noticed a little fan that didn't spin and seemed tight. I had to pull the motherboard to pop it off, cleaned it up, powered up without monitor, all seemed well. Finished putting it all back together, took it upstairs, no output from video card :( Swapped video cards today with oldest boy's computer, worked as advertised. That means I burnt out a video card :mad: <br />Oh well, I'll go to the store here the next couple of days. Make the boys wait.... :D <br /><br />AK Chappy
