Thinking about buying a new computer for school? Why buy what THEY want to sell you? Instead, why not customize a computer to suit your individual needs (business, games, music, video editing, web design, graphics, etc.) Perhaps you run a business off of your home computer; shouldn't you have dual hard drives in a mirrored set? I know I wouldn't want to risk losing all my business data.
If you can dream it, I can build it. Below are some ideas for some great systems waiting to be expanded upon. I use only new "name brand" parts, all come complete with manufactures warranty, along with my tech support for any problems that may occur.
I urge you, even recommend for you to shop around and compare prices. Just understand that the Intel CELERON processor is the cheapest, bottom of the line processor ever designed. I usually only build with AMD 64bit processors which are faster and display graphics better. They are also slightly cheaper, because you are not paying for the "Intel" label. However with the recent release of Core i7 if someone wants to pay for it, i'm more than willing to build the beast.
