859 minues the 300 i sold my PC for. gotta love the 22 inch monitor.
who/where should I look for virus protection???
This is just a pc to surf the web, do little things for my small business etc. no gaming pc or anythign like that. let me know if I should add or change anything. I may price a different model, what options should I really look for??? I know atleast 1 gig of ram but what else. My dell 4500s is working fine but my sister in law is looking for a PC so I said why not sell it to her. My system is 5-6 years old.
A little pricey for what you’re getting. I just built one with slightly better specs for about $600, however you get a Dell warranty so if anything breaks you’re all set.
It’s a bit more than if you were to build it yourself but I think the processor & video card are on the lower end. You won’t have as long of a service life compared to a machine with higher end components. You’ll probably be looking to upgrade again in 2-3 years where as if you build a nicer machine and pay a few hundred more you can extend that to maybe 4-5 years. Plus you don’t get a DVD burner. 2gigs of memory is nice though.
However those monitors are the shit. I bought two of them for $300 a piece shipped off Ebay in June (dual 22’s rock). Then my friend bought two 24’s just to spite me.
