the one you already have, it is at least a 17 inch monitor, isn't it? if it isn't, buy a new one.

19%? Here in spain it's 16%

In the store i'm buying there are no 1 mb ram...
Dvdrw i don't need it...
then i'll have a dvd reader and a cd reader...maybe the dvd drive will be an offer from my brother...yes the one i have is a 17 " i think and the lcd will also be 17 inches...
Here in prtugal taxes are a "STEAL"...Imagine...when your buying a car you have to pay towo taxes with the same value... IVA (19 % for pcs and for cars [THEY COUNT AS LUXURY IMAGINE] and IA (car tax[20 % i think]...)the country needs money and they steal it from taxes...for example in a salary you've got to pay 10% of what you receive...man i'll change country when i'm 24 lol

DVD readers can read CDs.....

but they're not as fast as cd readers

i think they are at reading CDs, just not DVDs.

although someone said that DVDs are like 4x the speed rating, so an 8x DVD reader is like a 32x CD

hmm...dunno i think i'll stay the same...'cause my brother bought a pc 6 months ago +/-...and he bought dvd reader and cdrw...he's disapointed with the dvd reader and he is going to buy a dvdrw so i'm going to keep his dvdr...about another thing...that "graphic Card" is very good ain't it?i'll use the pc for downloads and games...(i'll have dsl in my room)...

good computer

Thanks Spokes...I chose the pieces myself

i like the 800 ram wish i had that kind of computer you need a dvd writer
