PCs for entertainment, PCs for gaming, PCs for fun or is that all there is to it? Is that what happened to the system your kid recommended he must have that would help him tremendously with his studies? Okay, so you're the serious type. You want to look for a decent workhorse to get the job done. No fancy jargon, no need to know if video playback has comb filtering or per-pixel de-interlacing and you can't be bothered if www.cnn.com is currently being redrawn at 100 frames per second. In general terms, you want to be recommended a decent PC that can be used for all day-to-day productivity tasks such as web-surfing, document processing, spreadsheet, charts, web-design or compiling mom's recipe catalog. For you, we have built the perfect PC for that lazy Sunday afternoon.

Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 160GB SRP: US$89
No need to go crazy with HDD space in the SOHO system and we settled down for a moderately large 160GB Seagate 7200.9 drive. It can take advantage of the SATA II and NCQ interfaces on the motherboard for better performance and offers sufficient storage for everyday applications. |
