well someone build me a pc tower only for the 700-900 mark.

preferebly 200gig hdd min
amd 64bit 3.2g min, or equiv if better
256mb, 256bit graphics card with tv in/out and a capture card
sound on board is ok
gig of ram or more
good dual layer dvd burner
dvd player
1.44fdd
usb 2 firewire card reader blah blah

you get the point.

can this be done for that price range, been too long since i bought a pc.

Simply put, I doubt it very much, your looking more at a 1500 price.

what do you need a 1.44 drive for?
do you need software as well?

i got software with my current pc so no not really, but i think that xp can only be registered to one pc if so then yeah i will need at least windows xp.


1500 range damm.

well what is in the 700-900 range.

amd athlon64 3000+ with mobo.
1gb ram
120gb hdd
sound blaster audigy2
ati radeon9600 256mb graphics
pioneer dvr-110d dual-layer burner

that will cost about $800.
add another $200-odd for winxp, another $100 for a tivo graphics card

just a suggestion but you could save alot of money by using a free distro of linux and saving money by not buying an audigy.. sif anyone uses floppy drives anymore
seeing that you asked for a 256mb card im guessing youre a gamer which would make this post null since linux gaming is still lame

Yes but when it comes down to it, FDD are what like ~$15? Most of us can afford that. Hell the place that built my new comp for me threw one in free.

Exactly, mine got in the way of my Radiator so I ripped it out.
If your thinking of running a RAID array you might need a floppy for the Intel driver instal (F6) but even a Flashdrive will suffice for that.
