Laptop died, work gave me the ok to go ahead and order a desktop machine
has to be pre-built because i need it asap
and i can order from anywhere here is what i need
dual monitor
capable of running vista
FAST processor, do a lot of page layout and database work
2gig of ram
80 gig hd minimal

go go go…
primary apps:
excel
access
photoshop 100meg + files
indesign 10+ pagelayouts etc
acrobat pro
buickgn where you at
1600 budget for the whole setup fyi
wow 1600 bucks you can make a badass desktop…
BTW why can’t you build one … its really really easy…
what do you mean your laptop died… I’m sure i can fix it
do you have any preference to intel or amd?
And on another note… I think you should have a monitor around the 1600 X 1200 resolution if you are going to be using photoshop… much more clearer and probably better suited for you so that gives you choices of
ultrasharp 2407 for 799 resolution is 1920X1200 you can easily find rebates on this … and get it down to about 600 bucks shipped
2007 dell 1600X1200 for 381 bucks probably get it for 300 shipped
company will repair the laptop
i don’t care about the processor
can’t build it cause i need it like, um right now
Dell XPS

The one on the left “media guru”.
Thats alot of firepower for the office,sure you could build a monster for $1600 but I think the dell isnt too bad for the price.Search around for some dell coupon codes so you can fit another monitor into the $1600 budget.
can’t select a dual monitor option… wtf
buy a monitor elsewhere and dvi to vga it
