a good starting point for an off-the-shelf system would be one of the price
comparison sites. you can specify such things as monitor size, hard disc
capacity, memory price, etc etc on these sites to narrow the results down.
personally i'm not a fan of off-the-shelf systems as the sellers are very
good at advertising the good points but gloss over the down sides to such
systems. having said that, it's obviously less hassle to buy one than
building one from scratch! smile. although dell is one example of a
manufacturer where you can, to a point, specify what you want in one of
their machines when ordering off their website.
3 price comparison sites i use are:
www.pricerunner.co.uk
www.shopping.com
and
www.kelkoo.co.uk
hope that's helped a little anyhow.

Subject: [access-uk] New computer recomendations
Hi all.
Thinking of upgrading my computer during the next two weeks and could do
with some advice.
Firstly, I've purchased both of my old computers from PC World in Glasgow.
Both have been Packard Bell machines and both have required frequent
restores back to factory settings. Both came with the dreaded Norton junk
and when you restore back to factory settings, there is Norton again
defiant, like an unwanted guest at a party.
My new computer will have to have no Firewall or anti-virus, as I would like
to try the NOD 32 system.
My first question therefore, would I be able to purchase NOD 32 as a CD so
as to install it before going on-line?
I would like to try and make use of the remaining vision I have - I am a
JAWS user, but cannot help trying to see what is on the screen. So I'd like
to purchase a large display, 20 or 22 inch if possible.
Are there any issues for JAWS with respect to compatibility with larger
screens.
Can anyone recommend a supplier?
Can any one recommend a particular system?
Below is some of my wish list:
as quiet as possible as I do a lot of audio work.
As large a RAM as I can afford as I often use multiple programmes.
Very quick.
300 500 GB of memory.
room for expansion as I fancy getting into audio editing and DVD burning.
at least 6 USb 2's.
Non Wireless Keyboard and Mouse.
Please add to the above list if you feel I've left something important out.
Finally, I'm willing to pay up to £1000.
Any advise very welcome.
Best wishes.
Andy
