Is newegg reliable? I saw some reviews that they had poor customer service. ?? Looking to spend hopefully $700 each. More if it will be a reliable long lasting easy to use etc etc model. 23 inch monitor preferred.
Again at this point anything will be an upgrade, but we want to have a system that will stay in the flow and not be obsolete in a few years. If that makes sense? Smiles

We are looking for a tower. Actually upgrade our monitor as well.
Hubby needs to use Autosketch 10, which we are learning is not easily compatible with windows 8.
I want to do graphic work, cards, photos, writings and some accounting stuff. I store a lot of photos, and documents. Would liike to do a print workshop or such for labels and tags etc.
Yep, sorry, my blonde roots are showing...128 hard drive. Is that an antique now? <S>
No costco here, Best Buys, Staples
Thank you!

Ahh Thank you... This helps! At this point I think anything would be an upgrade, even if its not a recent model. I believe we still have 128 ram?
Thank you very much!
Cheers!

HI
I have to giggle..if you mean build my own by knowing where to plug in the tower, monitor and keyboard well then Sure (

No sadly, apart from maybe downloading some software I don't know how to build them. But thank you so much for your thoughts

Current computer Dell Dimension 8300 Desktop
Any hints or recommendations as to merits of a newer model/computer?
I do some graphic work, cards, etc. Play games through Pogo Big Fish. Also photography and writing projects and also some accounting stuff. Mostly use for social connections and groups and research. Might do more if the computer could do more.
Hubby has same computer..he does more with autosketch and design work.......also Facebook and photo sharing
what should we be looking for as far as speed and capabilities?

Ps Even when on a site the green arrow on top of the screen keeps scrolling..........
I found some info ..I can google a bit...about DNS. I pinged aol.com it did not go through
I pinged facebook.com it went through as did pogo.com
I went to network connections to obtain DNS server automatically. ran a "repair' there...
There are three DNS servers that come up...not sure what those mean but I have the numbers.
I do like puzzles but this is not my forte. Is AOL corrupt? is the system down? is it Charter IP? The router they installed has no reset button. Could it be router? Should I just throw this computer out the back door and get a new set of problems? I am not finding help from another well known site...am hoping to get some guidance here please thank you may !?
Cheers

Windows XP
Firefox 26
Dell Dimension 8300 (yep, old)
user..yep old
Charter IP
modem, wireless
A few weeks ago this same problem occurred then got better. Not sure if I fixed it or what happened. Problem is back and worse.
Firefox will load, AOL, my homepage, will not load..or only eventually loads text, no graphics.
Facebook will not load
Cannot connect to AOL mail
Weather sites, etc. No Load
Pogo.com loads a bit but not fully. This site fine
Control F5..no results
cleared cache, cleaned up everything I know to clean, ran antimalware , ran tweaking repair, chkdsk, updated all.
reboot, swore, threatened...no luck
Hubby has same computer, runs firefox, uses charter for mail. He can access some sites but not facebook, and weather etc.
Charter installed new modem a week ago. System was fast and fine... but now this
No reset button on modem
My samsung galaxy 2 will access AOL mail most of the time...some new mail does not load and part of facebook but no graphics.
I did have an unmountable bootvolume issue that I fixed...no more problems with that.
It is time for new computers but I want to get this figured out..can't access any sites to comparison shop !
Any ideas??? I am not savvy in terminology so please talk down to me.
Many thanks
