Was wondering if I could get a possible price for this. I'd personally would rather buy a prebuilt computer instead of buying the parts and trying to assemble myself (even with help). If I do assemble, EVERY part should come from Newegg or Tiger (or you all can suggest other good sites)
Hardware
- USB 2.0 speeds that are minimum of 40 MB a second (If not more)
- USB 3.0 speeds that are at lest 300+ MB/s
- Windows Experience Index of at lest 5.0 (minimum)*
- Firewire (and or eSata port) --- because I have a external hardrive that has both along with USB
- At lest a solid terabyte (as in one WHOLE terabyte useable)
- Has either a VGA or DVI port (current monitor I have has both)
- Multicard reader (although I mainly need SD and Memory Pro Stick Duo)
- Able to use a PS3 controller AND A XBOX 360 controller (and it if possible all of Wii's main controllers)
Software
- Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit)
- May run Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit and or XP as well as Ult 7 64 bit.
- May run [email protected][member='home bussiness'](although I use my PS3 for that when I'm not using it)
- Able to run most games from DOS era on, probably high settings
- Will use steam
-- Elder Scrolls
-- Portal 1 & 2
-- Batman Arkham (Asylum/City)
-- Sonic Generations
-- Quake
-- Wolfenstein (3D)
-- Commander keen
and others
- Will use CD/DVD's of the games I have:
-- Warcraft 2 - Tides of Darkness & Beyond the Dark Portal
-- Warcraft 3 - Reign of Chaos & Frozen Throne
-- Diablo 1 - 3 (when it comes out)
-- The Sims 1 - And all expansions
-- The Sims 2 (probably)
-- Simcity 4000 & Rushhour
- May use emulation (to run up to the PS2/Wii)
What I would like (MISC)
- It able to fit a somewhat small desk (although I guess I could put it under)
- If I DO put this under and I get a new monitor I guess I could have both in use either by use of new computer or one for my laptop
What I don't need
- Speakers (already have two)
- A monitor (@ this time)
- Dual GPU's (though that could change . . . . . )
- OVERCLOCKED, NOR NEEDING A COOLING SYSTEM OTHER THAN A FEW FANS
- Alienware . . . . . .
* - My current (slimline)'s lowest is 2.6 (graphics), than game graphics (3.0), processor/RAM are 4.7 & primary hardisk is 5.6 . . . My current computer can play Warcrafts, SimCity & TS1.
That's all I can think of the moment. Max budget, If possible within 1200 - 1500. Also suggest parts, Also I WILL WAIT until hard drive prices come down and a few months probably. Though I already have a PS3 to play blu-rays, I guess a blu-ray drive in this could be useful, lest to make BR backups of the system.
