Can you help me build a computer?
Dear 2+2 software folks,
I'm Miami32. I have come to the conclusion that I need a bigger monitor. I currently have a laptop and have maxed out my monitor capablities. All I need really is a cheap computer, either two 24inch dells, or the 30 inch dell. That is more or less all I have figured out so far. Do you have any suggestions for a cheap computer that is only good for poker? Also, spyware, and anti virus suggestions as well. Thanks, Miami32. |

AdAware is good in my opinion as anti spyware.
Found at www.lavasoft.com I use Kaspersky as anti virus and firewall, haven't any problems there. Found at www.kaspersky.com But of course there are others as well. |

Do you want a monitor or computer, I am confused.
For a cheap computer or monitor though, if you cannot build your own, your best bet is Dell Outlet. They sell return/cosmetic/refurbished items for a lot less than retail. You can get some very good deals there. If you want to build your own, check out the guides at Anandtech.com |

Re: Can you help me build a computer?
What I want to do is buy a cheap computer that can run pt, pstars, and a bunch of tables with no problem. One that can also support a 30 inch or 2 24 inch monitors. But every time I've previously bought a computer it's been a lap top and I don't have much experience in this dept. The only thing I've really decided on is the monitor, and I haven't even decided on that. So, I am looking for suggestions really.

If you are going to run PT/PAHUD or similar you will feel the benefit of a fast core2 duo processor and plenty of RAM at least 2G pref 4 and a fast dedicated HD for your DBs. If not, then probably the cheaper the better.
