Title: Tax Refund and New Computers?
Post by: elcidce91 on April 07, 2012, 10:09:38 PM
Uncle Sam has seen fit to give me some of my money.  Im considering buying a computer for my 19yo to use in college.  He wants something that he cant use for games.  Go figure.  Must be from the wifes side of the family.

I am comsidering buying a new desktop or a desktop replacement.  I do like the Alienware MX11 but am not sure about the screen size.  I think I can keep under $1000.  I have also considered building my own but it willl be my first build.  Should I wait for an Ivy Bridge processor?

Also does anyone know of a dependable source for used laptops?  I want to buy a few for my younger three kids.  Thanks guys.
