    Default Need new computer

    I need to get a computer for my room. I dont like to use ebay. I need somthing that wont go slow when I play games like halo and Half-Life. I was planning on spending like 200$. Do you know a website that might sell used or new computers at this price that are actually good?

    You'll be hard pressed to find a decent computer for only $200.

    Yeah, and the likelihood that they'll already have a graphics card at that price is still slim even this day and age. I just got a new computer earlier this year for a grand and still had to get a graphics card. Or accelerater or whatever the heck they're called. I guess they all come with some kinda card, don't they? But good luck getting a cheap computer to run Half-Life 2 out of the box. Try Alienware. And up your budget by about 15 times :D

    Keep saving. Keep checking Newegg and build your computer when you have the money. Alienware is overpriced. Give me the money for an Alienware and I'll build you a better computer and pocket about $500. Without a monitor, look to spend around $1000 for a mid to high-mid range system. Oh, and get a 64 bit proc and a mobo that supports PCI-E. There's no point otherwise.
