Customized computer?

[mage]

You guys are thinking way too expensive for what you want to do with it. A perfectly good and upgradable anime watching/internet browsing computer can be had for 400-500$ (USD).

i posted this previously in the thread:

-AMD Sempron 2800 - 73$
-Abit NF8-V Motherboard - 60$
-G. Skill 1GB RAM PC3200 - 75$
-WD 200GB HD - 77$
-Chaintech FX5200 - 33$
-Cheap case (you can get w/e case you want) - 27$
-Fortron 400W Power supply (don't use the one that comes with the case) - 37$

382$ before tax/shipping.

I suggest just building your own computer with these parts (or comparable), and if you don't know how, learn how. It's extremely simple. Unless you buy a crappy lower end Dell or HP computer you will be REALLY overspending. That, and if you end up taking your computer to Best Buy or FS to be fixed for something, 95% of the time they will have absolutely no clue what they're doing. I've seen many a computer come out of Best Buy with more problems than when they went in.

will it be fast? will I be able to make capable of wireless internet? and if I wanted to add another hard drive to it would it be able to handle it? all suggestions are appreciated

Any modern computer will fit this bill. They're all fast enough for what you're going to use it for, you can add another HD, and you can use wireless if you so choose. There's no reason to buy a 1000$+ computer just for these things.
