1148030	2010-10-27 01:02:00	that pc is effectively a netbook with a big screen, mouse and keyboard. You'd probably do better getting a netbook and buying a big screen, mouse and keyboard.	8ftmetalhaed (14526)

Intel Celeron E3300 = 74.46 Foxconn G31MX-K = 72.45 Kingston ValueRAM DDR2 PC6400/800MHz CL6 2GB = 59.72 Western Digital Caviar Blue WD3200AAKS 16MB 320GB = 60 Lite-On iHAS324 = 32 Gigabyte GZ-X2 420W (Black) = 65.09 TOTAL = 363.72 You can also get a wireless keyboard and mouse package, I think. But again, these are two different things. The all-in-one is good for power-saving, and you don't have a big case to deal with.	LynX (14542)

Asus seems twice as high in price; If you say you only want internet browsing, and affordability is a factor, I would check global user reviews if any. Try Youtube for reviews. Many on this forum generally are quite selective, and customize PC's, etc, with HP not one of them I suspect...	kahawai chaser (3545)
1148037	2010-10-27 05:03:00	1) No I didn't . The system totalled $363 . 72, and adding the W7 HP and 19in Monitor, which I estimated around to be $300+, it's still below $700 . Although . . . $340 is a bit too optimistic, I admit . 2) I don't know a lot about guns, so do you think a pistol is better? Or a rifle? I guess for a system like this, an RPG (or rocket launcher) would be nice :devil: . A few things needed to add: Windows 7 Home Premium (OEM) = 146 . 68 (OR you can try Ubuntu . Not recommended as a substitute for Windows, however) LG W1943S = 182 . 85 (or ViewSonic VA1913WMA if you like the Piano Black finish, for a few more dollars) Logitech Wireless Desktop MK250 (EN) = 29 . 20 (doubt if it's available at that price) 600mL Canola Oil = 5 (should be enough if you want to fry your motherboard and CPU :p Though doesn't work as well as a machine gun, at least I can't afford the bullets, which is even more annoying than not having a gun handy:() Subtotal: 363 . 73 Add PC Parts: 363 . 72 (coincidence?!) Total: 727 . 45	LynX (14542)
