Ok, that means $2800 is you bottom line, so add a grand for the real deal, another 10% for slippage and another 10% for BS. May as well call it a round $4,5000 + delivery and insurance and probably a new couch to go with the new display. I'm sure that should draw out a few expert con arrrr.... I mean techies. Dont forget to leave some over to purchase dual layer DVD's $25 odd for a single disc or $700 for a 40 disc spindle, oouuch! |

Remember, I probably won't do much editing - toooo many hours involved. Thanks for that info Metla. It is very helpful for getting a grasp on what I need to be thinking about. I should be upfront too. I deal with Online Computers in Invercargill and am happy with them so I'll probably order whatever I decide on from them. And Thomas - those specs sound great - what do they belong to? Anyway, I've sort of already decided on two hard-drives, and probably a 17inch TFT. The screen will fit into our living room better than a CRT although a CRT has better graphics. Neither I nor my children will be allowed to vege in front of the computer. :D |

| 295710 | 2004-11-24 06:20:00 | Whats your ballpark budget? ;-) Sorry, just had to join in :p There a reason why you want Dual-Layered Disc's over Single-Layered? I get 50 DVD-Rs (DVD-5) for about $30 for a spindle and its brilliant! |

| 295713 | 2004-11-24 06:38:00 | I know that for a while there was a supplier who was able to pass on great pricing for LCD's... We sold two 19" LCD's for $799 + GST a short while ago. Admittedly it was a 3 day introductory sale, but those CMV LCDs were damn fine!! |

With a bit of discussion with your retailer he/she/they will be able to supply a DVD drive with a good bundle of basic software (go for the Ulead,the other common suite is sonic......terrible gear) But you may find that XP's bundled Movie Maker 2 suits your needs,Everyone i have shown the different software to has preffered Movie Maker 2...... |

| 295715 | 2004-11-24 08:04:00 | I've used Movie Maker 2, and for what you intend to do, it should suit your needs perfectly. Most DVD Burners come with a DVD burning software which allows you to create menus etc. | somebody (208) | ||
