"Think upgrade before buying a new PC"

That´s a Headline on infoworld.com

A United Nations University study into the environmental impact of personal computers, due to be published later Monday, has found that around 1.8 tons of raw material are required to manufacture the average desktop PC and monitor and that extending a machine's operational life through re-use holds a much greater potential for energy saving than recycling.

FDS always contain BS hardware if not extreme expensive ... when you build up your system you knopw exactly its spec ... it work the way you like ...
you say what can be cheap or not ...
selfmade all the way .. but a computer to start with is in most cases a good choice ... then go upgrading ... I gut my P1 200 MMX and then started upgrading
if ya haven't go any experience in computers you may go and buy the wrong stuff
