Buying a computer
Jan. 12th, 2004 04:32 pmMy desktop isn't fast enough to play DVDs. I think I want to buy a computer. Whole. I'll dual boot between XP and Linux; I guess I want about half a gig of memory and a nice big hard drive (120Gb or more). It doesn't have to be fast, you can't buy one that isn't way fast enough these days. I don't need a monitor; I already owe ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
conflux £50 for a very nice one (or did I ever pay you? If not, are you at Bisexual Underground tomorrow?)
Who do you prefer to buy from? Recommendations so far include
http://www.scan.co.uk/
and of course http://www.dell.co.uk/ (but they insist on throwing in a monitor and speakers and suchlike)
UPDATE: Two people so far have suggested I buy an Apple. No further discussion of this possibility is needed. Thank you. Update to the update - the same goes for PS2s, thanks...
(PS I didn't do what I said I'd do - I went to Alternator. Blame goth peer pressure. Had a damn fine night though!)
