After a new desktop.

[dumpedvs]

Hi everyone, My rent's are after a new desktop (monitor, keyboard etc) and it would be helpful to get some ideas, pointers..

The budget is about $1500 give or take. I also wouldn't mind using the pc for abit of gaming also.

My old man got quoted today in a shop for $1050 for this... (unfortunely I dont know the brands of the components as I wasn't there, makes it hard.)

Quad Core 3.2G processor
8G Ram
2TB Sata hard Drive
1G Video Card
LG Blue Ray Burner
Windows 7 Home Premium
24" Full HD Monitor
Adobe Photoshop
Wireless Photo Printer
Speakers..
Microsoft Keyboard and Mouse

Thats all of the info I got.. Also thats a custom built pc.

To me that sounds pretty good, but without knowing the brands I cant be to sure. But any suggestions on what to get etc. Or ask for would be a great help. Cheers.

What are they doing on the computer? That's a pretty damn high end machine. Are you sure $1050 was the full price for that build? It sounds way too cheap for what it is

Normal day to day cruising, Customizing photo's on photoshop that's about all they would do. Id like to use for gaming every now and then.

Yeah mate I have the invoice in front of me,

MSY in Canberra are very poor for customer service, not sure if its the same for other places. I wouldn't buy a thing from them, most local computer shops will match their prices easily also.

MSY's service is shit. They're prices are ok.

That built is.. about right, I mean if you had a mate build it he might be able to knock a hundred or two off, but thats about right retail.

Hey Sweefu

I'd be interested to hear your stories, I have waited a couple of times just because they were busy but they seemed fine. Have got heaps of stuff from them and by far the cheapest, even IJK.
