The expensive computer or the cheapest
Posted by: har1eygur1 on: September 13, 2008
I decided to to compare computers on www.TigerDirect.com http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Category/category_slc.asp?Nav=|c:6||c:2627||c:2630|I viewed 2 computers, the CybertronPC Armor ARMV2QX965BK Gaming PC and the Acer Aspire AM 1100-B1410A Refurbished AMD Desktop PC.
The CybertronPC Armor ARMV2QX965BK Gaming PC is listed for $5,999.99 and would be a good computer for someone into playing games on the computer. The CybertronPC Armor can be purchased with either a dual video card system or a QUAD GPU powerhouse and will give the operator all the gaming power they want. This desktop comes with an Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 3.00 GHz Quad Core Processor, a 8192 MB (8GB) DDR II 800MHz PC6400 Memory, a 500GB 7,200 RPM SATA2 16MB Cache Hard Drive, and USB ports in the front and the rear.
The Acer Aspire AM 1100-B1410A Refurbished AMD Desktop PC is listed for $279.97, which was the cheapest desktop computer I could find. Features of the Acer AM1100 are an AMD Athlon X2 BE-2350 2.1 GHz dual core processor, this processor saves energy by using 45 watts of power; and it has the AMD 690V + SB600 chipsets for multimedia qualilty on the motherboard. This computer would be a great computer for someone looking for a computer mainly for the purpose of home entertainment. This desktop can rip CDs and make CDs and DVDs. It has front acessible audio and USB 2.0 ports. This desktop would make working with digital photos and video easy.
These two desktops are very different and would be great for what they are each being sold for, but would they do well with what the other has to offer. If I was in the market for a new desktop computer, I do not think I would purchase either of these computers I would try to find something that was more middle of the road. When purchasing a computer it is best to purchase an external harddrive for media, due to the amount of space that this will take on a harddrive. Also, when purchasing a new desktop, I would look for one with highspeed.

That’s why I like to look more in the middle price range.

I’m actually in the market for a computer right now but for me, it’s about pricing. We have three computers in the house, not including the miscellaneous pieces in the attic and they are all messed up in the own special way. Two of them are over 7 years old and extremely slow and the other one is newer but also slow. I don’t think I would ever pay $6,000 for a computer. Less than $300 sounds great but because it’s so cheap, I would be nervous instead of satisfied with that purchase.
