    I want to build a computer, I have nothing, not even the mouse speakers, keyboard, or monitor. I currently have a laptop. I have $700 to spend and I would like a computer thats great for using multimedia. I am a webdesigner, and graphics designer. I do not play games on my computer, so a minimal graphics card will do.




    You can use bestbuy.com, or any other company site, as long as they have shipping to North Carolina.



    Post your builds here.

    well, I'm not 100% certain as to what you want. The goal of getting much of anything is to generate maximum benefit for a given cost

    Ok, I got a wireless keyboard and mouse combo off ebay for $7. So i'm happy with that, Also, My dad found a great deal on a monitor, Its a 19" proview flat panel moitor, and it was like $89, So this will save me some money, I lke thart price for that 250gb hardrive, But with the save money, I could buy something higher, So I will think about that. Or, I could buy a little better case. Also, could you explain the watecooled system, I have seen alot of people talking about them and was wondering if I should get one, or if it doesn't really matter. And, the mother board looks average, I could spend a little more on that since I got the monitor and things now.


    Thanks for the help xlink =)
