I've found that it's better and more cost effective to simply upgrade you own system instead of buying new ones. One big payback in doing this is you learn your system inside and out and it saves you a lot of money on repair costs. I couldn't imagine to pay someone $50 an hour just to have them push a lose video card (or whatever) back in. That reminds me of a news show I saw a while back. They installed a simple bug into a computer and called out repair people and not one of them diagnosed the problem right. They told them they needed everything from a new hard drive to a new motherboard when almost any virus program could have fixed the problem. Just something for everyone to think about next time there's a problem.<g> I personally haven't bought a new system since I bought my 286. -Sam J. Bowling
