Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

Exactly. But not under $300 so we gotta wait until Oct.

I'd love it built one... my dad used to build all his.

Just about any desktop will be under $500 these days, even with everything including monitor. Personally I'd rather build one for around $289 than pay $450 for it already built.

A little word of advice. Stay with a 32 bit OS, no more than 3GB ram, and don't waste your money on quad core such as the 2.8ghz X 4 i7 processor. Believe it or not, even being 3 years old, mine outperforms it at 3.2 X 2.

Go for fewer cores (2 or 3) and higher Mhz. Unless you have applications that actually use more than 4GB of ram (hardly anyone does) there's no point in going 64 bit for your OS unless you actually need ridiculous amounts of ram. It will only make a lot of apps incompatible with your (64 bit) OS. It's not worth it.

Stupid edits. Thanks, That helps.

I thought more cores was better.

That's what people tend to think. They also think 16 GB of ram is better than 3 or 4. The truth is, the extra cores and ram are rarely put to use in everyday average computer use. Many apps are only written to use 2 cores. You're better off with raw speed than more cores and if you'll notice, quad cores tend to be lower Mhz.

Stupid edits. T

Oh yeah, I like my time machine. I like using it to mess with you.

[RedSidedSPR]

I need to have a policy with you, where I'd wait a few minutes after you post to make sure you got your edits in, before I reply.
