I picture that pc having a pretty loud hum to it with the venting/case fan setup.

Yeah I saw that. I don't need one but for a cheaper $$ it's not bad.

IluvmyCSX: I don't understand what you are trying to ask? You have an older PC and want a newer one but want Windows XP on it? :confused:
 
he's in need of a new pc... he's still running xp, and wants to get into a basic machine with win7

Damn Canada... :canada: :giggle:

French Canadian? lol I'm kidding.

What are you going to be doing on it Mr. IluvmyCSX? I know "basic" but just web browsing and email? Music? Video? Picture?

I'm not a fan of Acer PC's... Never owned one but knew people with them and did't have good luck with them..

Didn't say there was. Where I work we are still running XP on 99% of our machines.

He post made me confused. I thought he wanted a new PC with XP... But he had XP and wants a new basic machine with Win7..

^^ that looks like it's right.

It's not a bad PC for the price but I guess when I see "basic needs" I want to know what exactly one will be doing on it. Will it suffice and perform WAY better than the previous machine.. Yes but is there something a few $$ more that will be even better and last longer?? Possibly.

What other stores do you have close to you besides Best Buy?
What your price range?

thats the one i just picked up its just for basics browsing web, email
as for acer i have had a couple of their monitors wife has acer labtop never had any problems not really a big fan of hp.
 
Oh that's what you picked up.. ahhh thought you were asking us about buying it. My bad.
 
I built mine a few months back but I rarely use it anymore. I mainly use my macbook or iPad.
Intel Core I5 Unlocked
Asus Motherboard
Terabyte Hard Drive
Evga GTX460 Video Card
8GB DDR 3 Memory
 
i asked the question to the staff earlier but since Chris says hes got a ipad and a macbook, do you really use both, or do you use one more than the other? Ive been debating picking up an ipad in addition to my macbook but i have issues with spending that much on a device that seems redundant, just smaller form factor

I really do use both. I use my iPad when I go out of town and don't feel like taking the Macbook. If Im gonna be doing heavy typing then I use the Macbook. I love my iPad and its easy to carry around the house with you and the battery life is excellent.
