$1000 Usd

[Waffles_old]

i need to build my friend a video/photo editing computer for $1000 USD.

he needs a vid capture card, and a wireless network for his dsl also.

any suggestions? :wiggle:

not to mention the 15% build fee and the $40 network setup fee.

he will also need to buy an OS

gracias. now to add money for the os and the wireless adapter and im set

 

[NickS]

crap, lol. instead of two 120gb's you could get a 160 or 200gb, and you could get 512mb ram instead of 1gb.

 

[FarFarAway]

Yeah but if video capture is needed, then 1gb will be needed.

 

[Waffles_old]

Yeah but if video capture is needed, then 1gb will be needed.

indeed. and there lies the dilemma.. he does some pretty advanced stuff, and it shows on his other computer...

 

[enVias]

then why can't he spend a bit more?
