PM5K Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 Why aren't there prices for the software ? Also if I was making a system for that type of thing, I'd rather have more disk space, and a faster disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewster2100 Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 honestly... if that computer is for simple (not drawing states) things, than he dont need a computer that badass, unless theres other uses such as gaming for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtgriffith Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 Why aren't there prices for the software ? An AutoCAD license costs more than the computer does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNIGHT Posted February 5, 2002 Author Share Posted February 5, 2002 drewster2100, He wants a computer to do AutoCAD, gaming, digital photography, etc. He also wants to make sure that the computer is going to last for a while (unless a part gives out) and isn't going to require an upgrade for a long time. Unlike me, he doesn't want to mess with it(tweaking and upgrading the system). In fact, he has desided to get some better stuff than I would have put in it.

KNIGHT Posted February 5, 2002 Author Share Posted February 5, 2002 Haven't purchased it yet. Still running off the onboard video. The system will not be complete for about 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
