Not surprisingly, my P3-500 just ain't cutting it. |

Most people will reccommend Newegg.com. For good reason though, it has a great balance of great prices and impeccable customer support. If you are comfortable building it yourself, it's probably the best solution. If you don't want to build yourself, then you could always go to tigerdirect.com. But be warned, some shady happenings with the mail-in rebates have been reported. They sell very cost effective barebone kits (just add the needed drives and accessories). I've never bought from them, I'm just going off what I've heard before. And as always...ebay? :) |

I can put in memory, cards, drives, etc., but I think going to the processor/motherboard level is too extreme for me. |

Computer geeks often has good deals on refurbished computers: www.geeks.com I've bought a few in the past and they always worked great. |

I've been building computers and buying parts for almost 15 years now, and for the last couple of years I have stopped going anywhere other than Newegg. They are consistently among the very cheapest price, and absolutely the best support I've seen. Here's a complete system from there for under $400: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16883102810 It has onboard video but you have the option of adding an AGP card later. You might also consider a Dell refurb, like one of these: http://outlet.us.dell.com/ARBOnlineSales/topics/global.aspx/arb/online/en/InventorySearch?c=us&cs=22&l=en&s=dfh There are several under $400, including two that are P4's with 512mb of memory. Good luck. |
