 Subject:  OT: Need smart choice on buying a PCList thread.  
  
 Date:  Aug 20, 2002
 From:  Randall Lynn 
Mac guy needing advice on the best and most affordable PC for gaming
only. I know that sounds a bit extreme - but they don't make squat for
the Mac and I'm giving up searching for hardware and software that
rarely exists. You PC fellers have it made. A few of the games I'd like
to own include the later series of Close Combat, Silent Hunter II,
Nascar, Indy and other simulation types.

So, assume I know nothing about the PC.

What machine do I get and where for the best pricing? Local Comp USA or
from a catalog?

Best OS for gaming?

Minimum requirements such as Mhz and CD speed?

Any PCs come with a sound and video card as a package deal?

So sorry for cluttering up the modeling lanes with such an OT, but I
truly trust the opinion of you guys more than anyone I know. Lots of
knowledge here and I'd just like to tap into for a moment.

Email me directly if the consensus is to keep the thread off of TL.


Thanks a bunch!

Randall
