    Considering buying this:

    http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...tigeremail2818

    Its cheap - it does what I want - and its not much space. Can I do better considering those qualifications?

    The lack of size and space saving are what attracted me to this but honestly I should just buy another laptop which would have similar specs at that price. Most intensive work to be done on a machine like this for me would be some dreamweaver usage. I think a laptop would be a better choice though.

    That HP I was looking at was only 299. You guys have gone up in price like 200 bucks.

    Obviously spending more money will get you more computer.

    Look at Sears.com, and check out the range of Toshiba laptops they have available. They have credit available if needed.

    Do you want a desktop or a laptop?

    I would say that getting a new computer with the AMD A series will give you the most balanced system, i.e. bang for your buck.

    However, if you don't think you will ever be doing any kind of 3D anything, getting even a triple core system will be a very nice thing, and better than the IP, which for a desktop is a POS.

    For a desktop entry level system, AMD is just fine. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. It just depends on what kind of chip. Phenoms are fine, the A8's are fine. The E and C series are garbage for anything but netbooks.

    Your bottleneck will be your hard drive anyways.

    Something like this would be a FANTASTIC system for you:

    Just need an OS and a screen.

    It was a newegg s -shocker deal. They alternate every few hours.
    That kit is no longer available... But here is another comparable one... Just needs a HDD (and of course an OS, KB and mouse)...
