    [Question] What kind of comp.

    Well i was wondering my computer isn't really built for gaming its just built to be a slow, crashed up, peice of stain in the carpet computer, i was thinking on getting a new computer completely different than the one i have now, i have seen like 15 threads about the same topic, but i need some questions answered and im not really a nerd about computers, i just like to use them alot for Gaming, EMU using, and Browsing for stuff probably playing lots of games... But the thing is that if i game with my computer the one i have right now it just crashes and shit and screws up, i told my brother ( hes with geek-squad :O ) and he said that my crashes are from Nvidia, and he said that he was going to by me a new Nvidia Disk/Chip/Thingy , but i said alright and i was thinking while i was going to sleep yesterday that maybe i should just get a new computer and stuff, i was wondering if this was a good site to check on VISIONMAN :: Blade & Rackmount Servers : Storage : Gaming PCs , and while i was looking threw the Gaming Computers i found one that caught my eye was

    Visionman Intel Gaming PC - Intel Pentium Dual Core E2180, 2GB DDR2-667, NVIDIA 8600GT 256MB DX10, 250GB SATA-2, 20X DL Lightscribe DVDRW, Media Reader, Logitech Speakers, No OS, 585 Watt PSU at Rackmount Servers & Storage

    Why did it catch my eye?
    Well first i like the way it looks, second it looks cheap, and i was reading on and
    i kept on liking it so can anyone tell me what a good GAMING computer is that is cheap, but if you think the computer i found above is a good computer for

    Gaming
    Hosting a Server(not big)
    World of Warcraft
    Ascent - EMU -
    Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne and Reign of Chaos
    And lots of other programs...

    Don't buy that computer, it's a total rip off.

    I can't help you much since I have no experience what so ever with american computer-selling sites, but..

    If you want a pretty hardcore gaming pc I suggest
    Intel 2 Core (Or Quad if you can afford) 2,8ghz or more, 3.0ghz is a good choice. Do NOT go with Intel Pentium. I dont know why the **** that site says its a gaming computer when its processor is made for working on.
    Get yourself 4GB ram and run Windows XP 64-bit. Do NOT buy (or even download) Vista. IF you choose to get Vista based on the fact that it has 10DX then don't expect it to run a lot of programs because very, very, very few programs run on Vista.
    A GeForce 8800GT/GTS/GTX 512MB from Nvidia. 8600 is a very bad choice. A 8800GT 512MB is a very good card with decent specs that beat the GTX version in many categories.
    A good hardisk - I can recommend 250 GB or 500GB with Sata 2.0 or more. I myself got 1TB wich isnt even 10% used. But get what you need. Remeber to backup your computer or save your important files on a flashdrive or an external harddrive.

    Thats about it. Make sure you get a DVD burner and an integrated soundcard and netcard on the
    motherboard, Ask the site or the store.

    The PC itself is decent looking, but I see that you allwready have a keyboard and a, hopefully, speakers, so why not get just the computer itself?
    Looks don't matter that much if you are a real gamer, and besides, you can allways change the cabnet by ordering an extra one for only 25$ or less.
    Also, if you dont want any noice whatsoever, get a cooler. I myself dont have one because the noice (its loud) doesnt bother me, but then again, you have a big decision to make. A gaming computer isnt cheap. I can collect one for you that can run all games on middle-high for about 700$.

    READ:
    If all you want is to play WoW, WC3 and play/host EMU servers then don't read the above or ignore it. If you want a computer to play WoW/WC3 on, then the price will probably be 200-300$ since WoW has SUCH low requirements that it's rediculous. Please tell me what you want to use your computer for so I can help you further

    Goodluck!
