| 295727 | 2004-11-26 06:31:00 | I think this is a case for letting the fingers do the walking;) I would go to local crowd,tell them what you want,get a price, then email say Computer Future and get a price from them,keeps them honest. One hates to be overcharged.Entertaining in the meantime,seeing what they get up to.(your local) |

| 295728 | 2004-11-26 07:05:00 | I would be inclined to speak with a semi-local retailer from your nearest "real" city ;-) Even postage from Auckland might be cheaper than buying it locally.... |

| 295729 | 2004-11-26 07:23:00 | If you're going to be doing some video encoding and general other work on it like multitasking, a bit of gaming, I suggest one of the new Intel LGA775 processors. It's perhaps a bit soon to be jumping on the DDR2, PCI-e, BTX so I wouldn't go for the 915 or 925 chipsets. Perhaps get a motherboard based on the Intel 865PE chipset which still allow you to run a Gb of nice fast DDR RAM and you can buy a medium spec AGP card. | E|im (87) | ||
| 295730 | 2004-11-26 08:54:00 | its most likely be cheaper to get parts from auckland or christchurch and get them shipped down to you, it will be alot cheaper i just found an old quote i had from a while back, it was for a xp2000 with 512 ram and a gfmx440 graphics card and it was 1800 bucks, that was crazy i thought to my self. its soo expensive its just not funny, you could try dse, they have this xp3000 down there that looks ok, might pay to have a look. if i could i would buy local, i want to support mu local shops but its too expensive :p |

| 295731 | 2005-05-05 06:39:00 | Apologies for resurrecting this old thread but it explains everything. I don't like to rush decisions. ;) Anyway, at long last here is a proposal from the IT people I deal with. AMD Athlon64 3000+ System Chieftec ATX Case with 420w PSU 1024 MB Century DDR400 RAM Albatron K8X890 PRO 2 Motherboard ATI RADEON X600 PRO 128MB PCIExpress Samsung 200GB 7200RPM 8MB SATA150 Hard Drive BTC 16X DUAL LAYER DVD ± R Writer Built in Firewire 10/100mbit Network Genius Optical Mouse BTC Keyboard with built in 2 port USB hub Floppy Drive Windows XP Pro 64bit Edition $2025 Screens VIEWSONIC VE710B, 17" LCD, BLACK, SLIM BEZEL $540 or VIEWSONIC VG910S, 19" LCD, DVI + ANALOGUE, SILVER $840 (all prices incude G.S.T.)

| 295735 | 2005-05-05 10:35:00 | is this from town winnie? Yes, Online Computers. I find them very good. Compared with Computerland they are not expensive, and immediately helpful. I realise we probably pay more here in the deep south because there isn't a big computing market. Ultimately I'm interested in a fair price and excellent backup. I'd happily deal with Metla and others here but supporting locals is important for the community. |
