Can you help me build a computer?

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

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.

you would want to invest $$ on duel monitor video card.
also spent $$ on high end big monitor.
for the rest, just make sure it's reliable

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.
