Hey guys. The computer in my sig is our "family" computer and after 7 years of use, it is starting to die. I run CS 1.6 because its basically the only game I can run (and it doesn't run CS that well either). I suggested to my parents many times that we need a new computer, but they would never listen... until now. Which is why I came to the only place where I knew I could get good advice, the anandtech forums. Here is what we basically want:
- Pentium 4 processor
- at least 512 mb ram
- 80gb hard drive or larger
- DVD and CD R/W combo drive
- $500-$700 price range
Thats basically the only things that they specifically pointed out. This computer will be used for basic use (e-mail, internet). If at all possible, I would like to play CS:S and Half-Life 2 on it. Thanks in advance for the help!
EDIT: We already have a moniter, keyboard, and a mouse.
