<![CDATA[Advice request]]>Dear boys,

I'm about to buy a new desktop (tower style) pc.
I have 450-500 euros to spend.
I need advices about all the "little things inside computers" (= hardware information).
I am a really "fake blonde" type with computers.
What should I buy? Should I ask for something special?
Is there a special component I need?
Please, don't laugh at me too loud!

Links and suggestions appreciated.

With a good inkjet printer, some full face printable discs and Accoustica CD/DVD Label Maker, you would be a lot better off than with Lightscribe and the expensive discs that it needs.

External speakers and a decent monitor would also be on the cards.

A decent monitor would be nice.  An additional IDE HDD(internal) at around 1TB should be worth the investment unless you go between more than one pc, then an external HDD is a must. Finally a dvd burner with lightscribe is nice if you hate to manually label DVD backups like I do. Just my opinion though.
