i'm looking to buy a new computer and came across these two http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4861605 and this one http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4861606 Which one of two better and good for burning dvd backups? thanks
I could not get the second link to work. If you can build your own computer i would highly recommend it. http://www.newegg.com is a great place to buy parts That computer is pretty crappy if you ask me.
The second choice is alot faster on everything except possibly the processor. I have never been priveleged enough except to use pentiums for work.
I would still highly suggest building your own. It is always possible to upgrade components if you do.
i would build my own but i don't know where to start. I have notice that newegg has good price on the parts.
It isn't hard at all to build one....The motherboard has a manuel and do other components...All it is....Is basically putting parts on the motherboards....It isn't as hard as you think.....
well can you all help me get together all the parts? i would like to build a nice pc for around 600.00 dollars thatwill maje backup dvds quickly.
I would not say either one of those pc's are not good. What I am trying to say is that when you buy the parts seperately and piece them together yourself it is always better quality. Sometimes it is even cheaper also. But they can make those computers cheap because they use the cheapest parts possible. I will see how much a comparible system would cost to build.
I was looking at parts to try and compare but they do not list enough details to be exact if it would be cheaper to build it yourself. I know i am very happy that i built my first and second computer than buying a dell as people suggested. Come to find out after building my computer dell only load Windows XP that has some type of dell serial.
@pollution would u help me piece to together a computer. heres what i would like it to have: p4 at least 3.0 ghz 1gig of memory 200 or 300 gig hardrive
I am sorry but i couldnt help but put together a top of the line machine at those specs you stated. The total price including Windows Media Center is probably a little less than 1500 with shipping. This is running 2 SATA hard drives at 3GB/s with raid 0. This is what you want if you are going to be doing videos. The only problem with raid 0 is that if one hard drive fails you lose all the info on both. So as long as the information is not that important you should run raid 0. So it would be running at 6GB/s! I do not have a machine that fast yet . Here are the specs. Wow, that came out a little more expensive but i can almost gaurantee you that there is a differenc in quality. I can say that because i built my machine and i know a guy that bought his from walmart with all these great specs and my machine kicks his bad. motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813157086 processor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819116212 cpu cooler, aftermarket cooler is a good idea http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835186134 best thermal paste there is! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835100007 RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231012 Case, this case is quiet, 2 120mm fans! these are big with plenty of air flow http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811129145 power supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103937 hard drives, thats right, you need 2 to run raid http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148105 dvd drives, get 2 if you want, i calculated 2 in the price http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827101010 Video card, this one is ok, you would want better one for video games, i believe this has dual monitor which is really good, one analog and one digital output http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102691 19" LCD monitor, fast response time with a decent contrast ratio http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824001067 Operating System http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16832102357
I am sure it could be priced down to match walmarts computer but you are going to lose some performance. That is one kick ass machine there.
@pollution wow thanks but that pc that you put put together is nice but the 1500 dollar price tag is to high, do you thinks i can build a pc for around 700 dollars with the things i listed?
