I plan on buying a new computer for christmas..
Only problem is, I can't find any good preconstructed ones.  I want something about 1,000$. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had a link to a nice website where you can custom-build your PC?P.S. Penteium 4 or Other? (I want the fastest and stablest. )

Erm, I should've added something. Price is somewhat irrelavant, as this is to last me for 4 years. (Little more price is a little bit nicer.) |

I dont know where you live, but if you are around the bay area, ca. Go to FRY's, they have the best sale!! I remember half a year ago they had a P4 with ECS mb(crappy but do-able) for only $100 bucks.

That's where I got my Video card and HDD.
I don't like Fry's for this sort of thing, as it's a pain to find them in the store. People there don't know jack hussein. |

The reason they dont know jack *BLEEP* is cuz most of them dont even know whats on sale that day , until their supervisor give them a list of stuff and they make copies of it in their own handwriting. I went down there so many times, and I would have to show them the newspaper itself before they cheap their handwritten list and realize its on sale. Fry's sale changes like every 1-2 days... You just always have to be on it and get it right away, or youll be too late.

Aye, I did want an amd, but considering they're so cheap versus P4s.. Yea, I'll go P4, just need to know the best type still. :S Other then that I've got it down.
