yeah I agree with you there, problem is we live in a tiny mountain town where the closest computer shop is 4+ hours away. Dont know of anyone who really knows about computer where I live and with 3 kids a road trip for a computer does not sound fun if you know what I mean.

any sites to place that make good computers for you at a low rate?

and I looked at tons of sites only thing I found was small places that ship you parts not the whole shabang.
