I need a new computer... I dont need a monitor or a mouse, just the tower and the keyboard.

Im looking to spend around 300 dollars for something decent.

Where should i go? What brand should i buy?

Newegg.com, probably anything with an ASUS mobo would be my recommendation.

This might be it... For the money, Dell is prolly as a good a brand as you'll get, solid dual core processor, lot of memory and storage space, and expandable.

If you added a 150-200 dollar video card, you could run the latest games at decent settings with this machine.

Yup. Before I buy anything I check the Newegg price. Best retailer on the web.

computer geeks is better than new egg. especially if you're going to go refurbished geeks.com is the way to go

also don't bother buying anything slower that 3 Gigahertz and two gigs RAM

I recently purchased a refurbished gateway from geeks. Its a core i3 at 3.06 GHZ and 4 gigs ram for $350 and free shipping. It was still factory packed and looks brand spanking new to me.

Also HDMI is the com port of the future, IMO

laptops are popular, but unless you're regularly going mobile with it, a destop is a better value

plus there are other smaller machines that are better for mobility such as netbooks and smart phone
