 As the year-end string of festivities come to pass, they mark two things for man. It is a time to celebrate the passing of a successful year and the preparation to dive head first into the next (hopefully more successful year) and like a ritual, we tend to equip ourselves with brand new tools to help us get by (thanks to that fat year-end bonus!). It is this very season that the quintessential buyer's guide becomes a necessity for the average consumer to ponder what is worthy to spend their hard earned cash on, as picked out by the experts. If you're looking to buy a brand new PC or need to find some inspiration on what you need to build one, then look no further.
This year, we focus our www.hardwarezone.com® 2006 DIY Buyer's Guide on three specialty usage models that the humble personal computer has evolved into, Home Entertainment, Gaming and Productivity. While the PC does essentially remain the 'jack-of-all-trades' electronic device, the beauty of going DIY is the versatility to mix and match individual components for a perfect fit, maximizing your budget. From Intel's multi-threaded, dual core processors to ATI's vaunted Radeon X1000 series graphics cards, we present to you our take on the best possible components today to create the defining system for each scenario.
Our 2006 Buyer's Guide was created with the intention to strike a balance between functionality, contemporary style and power. A little splurging is to be expected as we've included the newest range of hardware available (it is after all a holiday buyers guide), but there should be something for everyone.
