I am shopping for a new computer , and I wanted to get some input on what is a good computer for less than $700.00 or $500.00( even though some might say you can't get a good computer for that price. I am more interested in brands rather than specifics( ex. Dell, emachines, etc.) Based on experience which are the best buy and have lest amount of problems. Thank you
In the price range I would say all brands are pretty much equal. The parts inside are often completely identical, the software is the same, and the life expectancy won't change much. Watch your local adds for a few weeks to get a feel for what your price range will get you and then buy a good deal when you see it.
Depending on your purpose you might want to consider swapping your Windows for a better operating system like Ubuntu in which case software wont be an issue at all...
Bought mine almost 3 years ago and still have no need to replace or upgrade anything~bootcamp/parallel for your windows stuff if you need to; great stuff...starting at $599...

As a Mac user I should have thought of that! Good Point!
I never buy a set computer myself but pick up the parts that I want, so I don't think I'm much help. The Mac suggestion sounds good for what you seem to want. The parts for my last computer, at the moment of purchase two years ago, cost me about 1200$.

If this is a replacement, don't forget to look for systems without monitors, if the one you've got is still working without issues.

Luke 10:27 (Love God Above All, And Your Neighbor as yourself) And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
Matthew 7:12 (Do unto others)
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Matthew 5:43-48 (Pray for those that persecute you)
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Luke 6:27-29 (Love your enemies.)
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.

If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven, when they think their pages are full of falsehoods on facts which they themselves have learnt from experience and the light of reason? Reckless and incompetent expounders of holy Scripture bring untold trouble and sorrow on their wiser brethren when they are caught in one of their mischievous false opinions and are taken to task by those who are not bound by the authority of our sacred books.
Isaiah 8:12-13 (NIV) "Do not call conspiracy everything that these people call conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it. The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread."

Well, if you're trying to keep it in that price range, going used rather than new might be your best bet...I got a used PowerBook back in the day for $800 (price new was almost $2,000)...and I've had good luck with it thus far.

Dell will probably be your best bet for a new desktop, but I would wait a little longer till they have a sale. Most companies usually have a huge labor day sale.
Don't get a name brand computer; get it built. Also, you may want to use Linux instead of Windows.
Umm You can use Linux on brand names computers.
