So, I want a new computer

[kierthos]

I do not need a new computer. I just want one. (In the same vein that I want a new monitor but do not need a new monitor.)

I'm probably going to wait until after Christmas, though, before really seriously looking at different specs and such. In any event, I'm highly likely to go with Dell, because they will let me pay month by month.

I cannot warn strongly enough against using Dell financing. I fell into that trap because of a nice $23 / month deal a few years back. After like a year of payments I noticed my balance had actually gone UP.

That'd be because their deal was fucking 27% interest.

Much more advisable to get a 0% credit card and buy it using that. Same monthly payment options (depending on total balance of PC) and no interest (providing you read the fine print reeeel carefully.)

Big Pockets (I think .com) is a good one... They did an ace computer for my boyfriend.

Should have gotten one at the Black Friday sales :-) (like me!)
