I was wondering about that BB system set-up. It would be nice to get all the crap cleaned off though. I'm always a little afraid that I'm going to delete something important.

Well, before you go deleting anything, do a system "restore" point. This basically freezes the computer in the current state.

Then, when you make a change, if it doesn't work, you just "restore" it to the previous state. It's helped me out a couple of times.


Second, as you are looking for computers around $1100 or so, do you mind me asking how you are going to pay for it?

If you are going to use a CC, you might buy direct from HP, Dell, or who ever.

Contact HP, and see what they have in a similar vein.

The system you picked out looks pretty nice.
