Database Develop

Need some 3rd party-no interest-help

Good day gentlemen (and lady nerds),
Though I consider myself knowledgeable in desktops, I find it better to include a third party to aid me in making a decision in purchasing a desktop. To make it easy...these are the things I'm looking for (to narrow the possibilities)
Will be going to Best Buy---I know...but I really have never had any issues with them...besides, the person helping can look at their website for specs.
Desktop options:
Pretty much open to anything (see??? It wasn't hard!!) Looking for:
dual layered dvd/rw lightscribe drive
at least 500gb
4gb ddr2 sdram mem
Price range --- up to $500 US (or 6 million pesos +QuePPC)
capable of handling photo and video editing without me having to wait 10 minutes to apply changes...
I just need to replace my current desktop, as it feels like its beginning to run on fumes (already 5 1/2 years old)---poor fella...
**off topic--went to Mexico as a child and found a coin...person told me that it was like 5,000 pesos and I was like, "Man!!! I'm rich!!!!" Went to a store...and came out with a stale, spicy piece of candy...rip off!!!

I dont know if its will be in your price range but!!!
Intel core i7 920 (the cheapestof i7 but can be OCd to 4ghz)
Nvidia Geforce 9600 and up (like 9800 or gts250) or a good ati card like 4870 (about the same power a Nvidia geforce 260 - but much cheaper)
about the other stuff -well if this all will be in you price range - then find something that is compatible with this!!
Good Luck!

500US is not 6 million pesos
500US = 6,651MX
We do not have a 5,000 pesos coin!
The biggest coin is like 20 pesos
Unless you came México before 1985...

You're wasting your time going to bestbuy.
I build systems regularly and you can get a brand new i5 system with a dedicated video card for about 600. It's more than you were looking to spend, but FAR superior to what you'd get at bestbuy for the money. If you're interested, I can piece something together at an online retailer and email it to you. I just hate seeing people pay more for less in a store.

Okay...how about this then?
Looked up a site...and just plugged in some specs...
can I do better than this at a 585 price????

Take something like Pentium DualCore E5200, cheapest 4GB RAMs 800/1066MHz (they actually might be cheaper lol), WD6400AAKS harddrive (640GB, fast, awesome), 400W Seasonic PSU, GTS250 GPU, Gigabyte G31 motherboard (or P35 ASUS or anything like that) plus other things you need (dvdrw, casing). I hope it can fit in 500$ (it's not that much tbh).
PS: You can easy overclock the E5200, all of them goes at least to 3.3GHz

This setup runs at $513 US...is this decent?

That's better, but the GPU I don't like (crappy drivers), plus harddrive would be better WD6400AAKS since it is faster. Why the hell did you choose crappy nvidia 7100 motherboard? Take cheapest G31 or P35 MoBo.
If this is maximum you can pay, take it. Still, the price seems pretty high for me.

Nice selection you have made.

Now this is the ipad i might think about getting...

http://mashable.com/2010/04/26/cheaper-ipad-knock-offs-thrive-in-china/
Who would of thought the knock off would be just as good if not better than the original?
Not sure where you can buy it...i searched ebay and didn't find anything.

lol, though inevitable that was super fast!
More and more clones will hit the market as time goes on.
A few places you can get China's famous knockoffs from:
http://www.dealextreme.com (my favorite & a fantastic site for cheap gadgets, but the most 'legit' in this case, they won't state anything as an 'iPod/iPad' clone)
http://www.focalprice.com - This one is hilarious, they are a rival of DX and openly sell clones though use ridiculous terms to disguise trademarked names such as 'NokLa 3210 beautiful comfort phone' and post their own fake Engrish reviews
http://www.milkandhoneyland.com - I've never used them but they openly sell clones for what they are
Stay the hell away from clones though unless they're something you really want or have money to burn!
Edit:
One version shown had three USB ports

More functional than the damn iPad already then.

Saw a Android aPad the other day, was quite impressed.
Price for this beauty is: 210 USD

LOL..ROFL...NokLa

I've used windows tablets for years, and they all suck unless they have an awesome resistive screen, or a active digitizer. Now those cheap android tablets, on the other hand, are mighty tempting

I got it and is arrived yesterday, i'm very impressed by it; 7 inches is a good size and the screen is very brilliant, 2 hours and half of autonomy and a good response of the touch screen.
But i'm new of Android devices and i've not a term of paragon;
How i can improve the android version? for you is possible to up it to the 2.1?

I wouldn't think you would be able to get 2.1 just yet, with it being the latest firmware anyone know if it gets OTA updates like the phones?

To be honest, I would rather get an iPad over this piece of crap.
Windows XP is a terrible OS for tablets.

I see...this a customizable tablet.....it's alright then...

None of these pads are made of magic like the iPad and they don't have a special booth in Best Buy

Looks promising. Any thoughts?

I'm sorry, but that thing looks horrible. The borders are huge, and the buttons don't look comfortable to use at all.

Bezels are a good thing on an eReader... Ever actually read on your tablet?

Its basically just a Nook with a new name. We had the nook 10 months ago... No improvement.

^ This. It sounds VERY similar, but it's taken almost a year this to come out, and the NC is already fairly established (same thing with the Kindle Fire). It's the way of things. At least when you're ready to put the Nook into retirement, there should be a strong upgrade to go to.

It's a rooted Nook, which is a step up from the Fire....

Kobo Vox and an Easy Nook Color 2 Upgrade
The Kobo's most promising feature is definitely the AFFS+ display, something that could easily be added to the NC2. If it was just an updated NC then it should have bluetooth and FM in it. I was thinking that an easy NC2 update for B&N would be to:
1) Replace the IPS display with an AFFS+ one.
2) Enable hardware support for Bluetooth AND the FM radio.
3) ICS! Android 4.0
4) Video out?
I am not talking about an uber tab here, after all the NC is and will likely stay an e-reader primarily. It does what it needs to, and there is no reason to add more horsepower under the hood. But even if they only did what I suggest, and lowered the price it would likely fly...
They will probably not do it like that, and will probably f it up by taking out things that make it popular ( east rooting and booting from the card slot? ).
Still, for the least amount of investment, and maximizing their current designs lifespan that is definitely what I would do.

That sounds pretty good... of course with a slight bump in cpu and memory...a killer GPU is probably too much to ask for an ereader More seriously though, better speakers would be nice too and/or pen input.

I'm assuming you don't mean dual core cpu? The a8 is single core unlike the mali gpu but still looks very good value.

This reminds me of the viewsonic gtablet I got for free, rooted it with hc and then gave away for free. It had decent hardware for how old it was, but weighed enough to kill someone if you needed to use it for self defense purposes
It wasn't "the hot thing" on the market though, so custom roms for it were rare because it'd be like putting a custom paint job on a Kia... fail.
If people buy these things and there is support in the dev community out there it could be good, but I keep hearing this voice in my head thats saying "you get what you pay for".

Seems interesting, but may be too good to be true (especially the price)

If the price is legitimately that low, no hesitation purchase from me

Computer specifications thread.

Just an off-topic post. Wondering if anybody else built their own computer on here, and if so what specs and what was the overall price? Mine is as follows:
Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 AM3+ socket motherboard. USB 3.0 slots, 6 SATA III ports, 4 RAM slots supporting up to 32GB, Award BIOS v6.
AMD Athlon II X3 450 3.2Ghz - unlocked 4th core, now a Phenom X4 B50 3.2Ghz.
ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GT610 GPU, 2GB memory.
8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport 1333Mhz - overclocked to 1600Mhz.
Some crappy £20 case with a 500W power supply included.
7.1 HD Sound Card.
That's about it. Cost me £280 in total, and it gets 5.2 on the Windows Experience index (would be 6.9 if the GPU didn't let me down on Windows Aero)

I have a pretty large keyboard. Goes by the name of the Dell SK-8135. I use this for gaming, I much prefer having large keys that let you know when you have pressed them than some laptop keyboard on which the buttons will register a press if you drop a paperclip on them.
