How about this computer

well.. considering it's a MAC.. you'll be very limited in the games available to play (not sure if E@W is one of them).

 

I have a MAC (2 actually) and they're good computers.. but if you're wanting a "gaming" PC, I'd urge you to not choose an iMac.. yah, it pains me to say that.. hehehe :xp:

 

I <3 Macs

you do get some games for macs. i'm fairly sure that Jedi Academy and maybe even Galactic Battlegrounds came out for mac, but you'll never get a mac to run a game as well the pc version.

i'm not sure where in the world you are, but both in the UK and US alienware do decent packages for under a grand. and you know then that you're getting a decent machine.

You could probably by a crap Dell PC for £400 then replace the cheapo graphics card and RAM for no more than £200 - giving you a decent PC for the money

I had a feeling that games wouldn't work on a Mac. Trying to find a decent computer that doesn't hit well over a grand is difficult

 

I don't know if this will help you, it depends if you live in the UK or not

 

If you do try this place.

Your able to customise the base Unit / tower to what you what inside, graphics/memory/hard drive etc

 

you'll be supprised as the cost as well :)

 

But like i said you need to live in the UK for it to be any good for you.

how about that computer? And I jst switch the graphics card and obv buy speakers.

 

I persume you what a gamer computer....

 

If i were you get at least 300gb hard drive, with 2mb of RAM.

 

The DVD rewiter, if you do do any rewiting, i would get a 16x Dual Layer.

 

Other than the graphics card, which you already pointed out. and them i just said.

 

Its not a bad machine. But i would suggest that you get a different Monitor in my exsprice Emachine's are more trouble than there worth.
