I just found this online: A gaming computer for 500$?! You bet! v2.0 | Hardware Revolution is this decent? Some of the games I want to play are Team Fortress, Spore, and Ao3.

Thanks. Since I have no idea how to overclock processors I will probably just stick with the AMD then.

I am missing a case. This is everything I would like to have eventually. I would like to keep the price as close to $500 or less as possible without an OS or peripherals. Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD5000AAKS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - Internal Hard Drives...

I think this is the right place to put this. I have a laptop that has a number pad. For some reason, usually after I turn my computer on from hibernation/sleep, the delete key will go off and delete stuff and/or the decimal on the number pad will go off and insert periods everywhere. I have no...

My mom works at a learning center and said that someone brought a computer in three months ago. Since the lady hasn't come back yet they were going to throw it out so she said I could have it to mess with. The stickers on the front of it, beneath the floppy drive, say: 700mhz processor, 64mBs...

I can connect to the internet fine, and I am not sure when exactly this started but, for some reason in my taskbar I do not have the icon that tells me that I am connected to the internet (the two computers with the globe) instead I think is something for the LAN. I'm not sure but it is two...

The 500gB hard drive should be good. My TV is not an HD :(. What OS does everyone recommend Vista or XP? Thanks for everyone's help!

I would need every thing. I do have a keyboard. I would like to keep it under $1000. Also, I would like to be able to record from my tv to my computer and if I dl a video be able to watch it on my tv. The games I would play are spore, age of empires 3, and armed assault. I may play others. Thanks.

My mom didn't give me a price range. How much would just an extremely basic build be? I think my mom might be able to get an OS from someone.

My mom wants a computer for my grandmother. She was using a computer with windows 95 so as long as its faster than that... :) She will basically just be using it for the internet. We have keyboard and mouse and speakers. We thing her CRT monitor might be broken. The cheaper the better. Thanks.

After I hooked it up to a friends computer with vista it worked on my computer. Not sure why though (my friend has a 6G iPod that works on his comp). Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this but I have looked every where for a solution. I just bought a new 80gb iPod classic and when I hooked it up to my computer it started looking for a driver. It didn't find one and since no disc comes with an iPod I looked online for a solution...

Ok thanks. Yes, I am the only user on the computer. I will try this and let you know how it goes.

Ack, I messed up on the error message. It said error loading van.dll and that it is not a valid win32 application. I tried to replace it with the one I downloaded but I was denied permission since the System32 folder is read-only and I was unsuccessful in changing the permissions. Thanks.

Great thank you so much!
