I've been itching to build myself a new computer, but couldn't find the time or the money. Now my desktop has died and I'm going to have to buy one 'cause I don't have the time to do it myself.
Budget's a grand.
Anyone know what great deals are out there for that price? Best places to buy it from?
Only a few requirements.
1) TFT capable of at least 1600x1200. That's 1600x1200....none of the this pansy widescreen 1050 rubbish.
2) Primary and Secondary hard drive. Can't be having with just one hard drive....not after my current situation. Would love a Raptor for OS, but can't see many suppliers using them, and not at my budget.
3) Plenty of RAM
Any suggestions?

but its just that you would really be crazy to not buy a widescreen monitor nowdays, unless you have some unusual specific reason why you can't have one. Do you use some strange piece of software that doesn't like widescreen resolutions? If not, it is definitely the way to go, and you will be so thankful that you bought one once you get it infront of you. Do you play games? Do you ever watch films on your PC? If yes to either of those, then don't even think twice about it. Widescreen is 10 times better. It just fills much more of your peripheral vision and you get much more immersed in games. Watching films on your PC is no longer a crap experience where you curse yourself for not being arsed just burning it to a DVD to watch on your big telly instead. Because on a decent widescreen monitor, its just as nice as watching on a proper telly really. Also, it can be very useful for certain businessy type applications. Photoshop and whatnot. You can have two A4 pages side by side on screen at the same time. For me though, I got it because people told me gaming was a joy in widescreen. They where right. Very right.
