If there is anything else available with the same form factor with decent chips, I'm all ears :)

1325588 2013-01-30 03:59:00 I would look at the all in ones, if apple doesn't float your boat. There are many other brands doing the same. Best of both worlds. Power of a desktop and are reasonably portable if you want plod (107)
1325589 2013-01-30 04:15:00 I'd suggest a tower and i'd go the custom built route. The off the shelf ones are useless and you'll regret it, and they come preinstalled with a lot of crap you have to uninstall.

I agree, but have it built by a reputable company or somebody local you already know and trust. I used Computer Lounge and their service has been great, but they are too far away from you and that could be a problem if you needed warranty service. I started with a clean slate (OS only) and have only loaded what I need.

There is this thing called windows and surprisingly enough you can install it on computers.

1325592 2013-01-30 07:46:00 An AMD A4 system with 4GB Ram, 500GB Hard Drive, DVD Writer and Windows 7 would be less than $700 (just for the tower).

Prices go up from there....

1325594 2013-01-30 08:47:00 Get one of the cheap new essential systems. Add in a HDD and DVD if you don't have one already from the other system and same to Windows. $700 or maybe less.

How about this? Not the cheapest though ..
www.pbtech.co.nz

Has the HDD and DVDRW already with 8GB RAM. Was gonna link a Computer Lounge but theirs is $529 just the motherboard, cpu and ram, no case even or the hdd dvdrw.
