Need advice for Dell computers.

[lawrencethomas3]

Hey all,

I'm looking to buy a computer from Dell sometime this summer, and was wondering if anyone had any advice on when or what to buy.

Such as... what model to buy. What to include from Dell and what to purchace on my own and add myself? Ideally, I'm looking for a cheap computer that's powerful enough for modern gaming w/an LCD monitor.

I'm not savy enough to build from the ground up, so this is the route I'm going to take.

Thanks all!

Just keep watching the deals board is the best advice I can give. Dell has had some really good deals in the past few months. Usually you can get a real good computer with monitor for around $500 or less. Right now Dell does not have anything real special going on, but in the next few weeks I am sure they will. So the key is to just be patient...

Dell has a computer going for $499, it is the Dimension 2350. You get a free 2nd bay 4x DVD+RW/+R Drive w/CD-RW and a free upgrade to 256MB DDR SDRAM. From what I've seen those dvd burners cost in the hundreds. See it at http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=19&kc=6V417&l=en&oc=D235RS&s=dhs

Just as an example, use the Dell system I found today.
