Looking for a new computer for my boss
Do packages not come with monitors anymore? I'm not looking for something super geeky. Just a basic tower desktop, mouse, keyboard, speakers, and monitor.

Would like for it to have:

Windows 7 Professional
Good processor
around 6 GB RAM
Looking for a 17" monitor

Want to keep the price between $600-700 for everything, if possible.

Suggestions?

Nice all in one iMac clone:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16883155543

DELL Inspiron One io2020-5000BK 20" Desktop PC Intel Core i3 2120T(2.60GHz) 6GB DDR3 1TB HDD Capacity Intel HD Graphics Windows 8


More all-in-one models: http://www.newegg.com/All-in-One-PC/...onStore/ID-124

Other than that, you're probably going to have to buy the PC and monitor separately.

1. No way do I get any sort of Mac for the price range.
2. MUST have Windows 7 Professional (network purposes). I realize I cat get that separately and install it, though.
3. He doesn't want an all-in-one or a laptop. He's a lawyer in his 60's. He just went from a flip phone to an iPhone. That has been a headache for me since he discovered I have an iPhone as well. Even the other paralegal in the office asked if we'd worked out an IPhone consulting contract...lol. He's used to a tower, he wants a tower and bigger monitor, and he's getting what he wants.

To each their own. If anyone else has gone through the issues I have with a company's products, you wouldn't be singing their praises either. They also made me pay for my own shipping to return said product.

It happens. I've had more Seagate drives fail than any other drive manufacturer (and by a wide margin) to the point where I'll never again purchase their products.

My experience with ASUS products has been excellent. When I "strayed" and purchased Gigabyte boards, I regretted it because I had three fail within 18 months. Yet others I know have had no such issues.

Computers.

I believe I can agree with that. ASUS is usually top 3 in reliability, so I suppose I could just be the crazy man up on the box. I was really excited about the Nexus 7 when I read the reviews. That's life I guess.

most of the time monitors are sold separately anymore, unless you configure you own and add the monitor.

good laptop might be easier

Had a buddy's harddrive just stop working explicably after 2 months, and I have gone through 2 Nexus 7 tablets through 4 month. They just quit working. Cheap cheap cheap crap.

ASUS doesn't make hard drives. Hard drives, unfortunately, can crash at any time regardless of age.

ASUS makes some of the finest motherboards in the world. You are misinformed.

This. Years ago I bought an Epox mobo, it died. I then bought ASUS, flawless for years. My next build ASUS mobo, has been flawless except the time I screwed up my bios by trying to flash an older bios over a new one, but ASUS sent me a bios chip within two days for ~$20. ASUS is worth the extra$.

My buddy bought a newegg combo build that came with a MSI mobo 2 years ago, it just died. When fixing his rig, I made him buy ASUS.

PS: NEVER buy Corsair products, I HATE them with a passion!

Fine, 3 products that said ASUS on them have stopped working in a relatively short time.

EDIT: No, not informed. I was deployed with this guy, his computer was our sole form on entertainment. It simply stopped turning on. We sent it in, the whole computer had to be replaced, not an issue with the software, the rep said it was an issue with hardware.
