    I've Got $1000...

    Well I've done a lot of looking around (man $1k isn't a lot!) and a system I like a lot is from ebay. Check it out, tell me what you think. I can get a monitor elsewhere and just use a linux distro as an OS (for the time being) http://cgi.ebay.com/AMD-ATHLON-64-3700-1GB...1QQcmdZViewItem ah if only they actually gave us $1k to spend...

  9. Congrats! Your log is clean! How is your system running? The following is a list of tools and utilities that I like to suggest to people. This list is full of great tools and utilities to help you understand how you got infected and how to keep from getting infected again.

    I think it either has to be built from scratch, or purchased pre-built. Good thought though..

    I'm not sure I understand what you mean by that mac.. As for eBay, yes! Anything and everything is open game! New, used, prehistoric can all be selected.

    I've Got $1000...

    Well, the goal is to just get the "best" system we can with the $1000. "Best" would be decided by me. I will submit the 4 systems I chose to look at, and then describe why I chose the one I did. It's basically all on me, as long as I back up why I chose a certain one. The general idea of a type of system we're looking for is a high performance home computer. That could mean great graphics cards, or high end processors. I was just interested in systems you guys liked, maybe that could give me some more ideas. I've looked at many systems, mainly from Dell (this is due to the fact that ma

  15. Hey all! I'm starting a project for my computer apps class, and I'd like some reccomendations! The project is we are to find 4 computers to compare, and then choose from the 4 on which to buy. The price limit for an individual system is $1000 USD. This must include taxes, shipping, etc. I would like some system reccomendations from you guys. I also have the option to select to build y own system (but this can only be 1 of the four systems being compared). If you guys think that is a good way to go, I'd like some tips on parts to buy. But, these parts must be complete. I would need t
