    Default I need a new computer

    My computer has finally taken a dump on me. It is old and outdated. Anyway, I was wondering if anybody could direct me to a good website that specializes in the sale of computers. I am not looking for a package deal. I am looking for a new CPU with a good graphics card and all the other assorted goodies.

    buyxg.com is where I bought my computer. They have pretty low prices and some good selections. It tends to be cheaper to buy computers on the internet rather than in the store.

    We could always just get Lemur to do a few hours worth of good research on machines for you.

    I wonder why internet sales tend to be cheaper. I'm about to buy a great laptop for roughly $1300 with optional warranties from $100-$230. This is a much better transaction than what Future Shop tried to offer me. Somehow the price jumped from $1400 all the way to $2200. Wtf? Anyways, I wasn't foolish enough to make that purchase...

    Never, ever go to Future Shop. They tell you barefaced lies just to get your money, and also don't have the decency to help you understand they're ripping you off. And not only prices, but mostly services are significantly higher than other stores.

    Sorry for the rant.

    Yeah I'd also get a Lemur series PC which would save you a lot of time-consuming, hair-killing trouble. He already is low on hair.

    I suppose the generic Dell or HP computers will do the trick, but other than that, Ibuypower or Cyberpower offer great deals, but from what I can see, sometimes their quality and customer service is too great.
