Buying A Computer vs. Building Your Own

by: Jared Strop

It happens to everyone in their lifetime?getting a new computer. The thing you gotta think about is if you want to build a computer or buy it pre-built. What?s the difference, you say? Well, there are certain advantages and disadvantages to each.

First of all, pre-built computers come with some parts you don?t want or need as well as useless software. On the other hand, building a computer lets you decide exactly what to put in it and what to install on your computer. That helps out by freeing the hard drive, but sometimes computer companies have great deals on their software bundles. If you know somebody that has the software, don?t bother buying a pre-built computer. You can just use his/hers for free (unless they charge you haha).

Secondly, building a computer is usually cheaper since you don?t pay for labor. All you do is pick out the parts you want in the computer, put them together, and install your software. It?s really not as hard as you think it is and you?ll save some cash doing it. One the other hand, if you are absolutely lost when it comes to computers, then you should probably just buy one. Building a computer isn?t hard, but it?s much easier if you have a basic understanding of computers.

Thirdly, there is no warranty when you build computers. Since it doesn?t come from a manufacturer, there will be no damage protection for it. If something goes wrong, you?ll have to replace the parts. The bad news? Well, you?ll have to spend some money to get it fixed. The good news? It?ll usually happen after 2 years which means it needed to be upgraded anyway. The warranties by Dell or Gateway aren?t free and they will charge you even more if you want it for 2-4 years and during that time, you can not upgrade your computer yourself or else you?ll void the warranty.

So if you like do-it-yourself projects or love complete control over your computer, building a computer is for you. If you don?t even want to think about it or you need a warranty, then buying a computer would be best for you.

So You're Buying A New Printer !

by: David Atkins

Ok, so you have decided to buy a new printer ! The old printer is getting "cranky" the print quality is down, and it is slow ! Here is what I would suggest that you do.

Sit down at the kitchen table or wherever with pen and paper or at the computer with notepad or a word processor.

Determine how many pages a day you will be printing.
If the number is over 8 pages a day and we are talking everyday toss all printers priced below $100.00 , these are "home class" printers and they will wear out quickly.

The inkjet printer market , because of the volume that is bought is one of the most "price-driven" markets in the computer industry.
There are many gimmicks used to lower the price of an inkjet printer, the two most prevalent

is durability and ink costs. The
ink costs means you toss all

Three Things You Can Do to Keep Your Computer Running at Maximum Performance

Three Things You Can Do to Keep Your Computer Running at Maximum Performance

by: Larry Andrew

Although there are many things that can affect the performance of your computer, there are a few simply things you can do each month to help keep your computer running at maximum performance. This article will focus on two problems that impact the performance of your computer and will then explain what you can do about it.

Problem #1: Computer Hard Disk Files

Your computer is always writing information to your hard disk, no matter what you do. Your computer attempts to keep all file information in the same location on your hard drive. As you add and delete files, blank spaces are left between your files. As you add new programs or files, your computer tries to use these blank spaces.

Over time, this reading and writing of files can affect the way your computer performs. The files eventually become scattered in multiple locations on your...

Choosing the Best Printers

Choosing the Best Printers

by: Karen Nodalo

If you are settling for color printing or be it black and white, you should take all considerations in choosing and purchasing your printers. But choosing a printer is really a hard task. Imagine you have to choose from a hundred types of printers that could work the best way for you. Not to mention the most common printers like HP, Canon, IBM, EPSON, Xerox and more.

In choosing your printers, there are a lot of pointers to consider. Pointers you need to follow so that you can never go wrong. The first things come first. The number of prints is very important. Decide and estimate how many prints you are targeting say for a month. Printer?s printing capacity is important because not all printers can print a bunch of pages in a day. Buy a printer that is built to last a tough printing job.

The printing speed is also essential. After deciding the duration of the deadline, here comes the printing...

Building A Computer - Picking Components

Picking the parts for your computer is one of the most important things in building a computer, because you cant assemble a computer without the parts! Picking parts for computers has become much easier than before, because things have been standardized, however, you need to make sure everything will fit.

Have you let a spy into your computer?

by: Maria Marsala

Yes, it's true. You may have inadvertently invited a spy into your computer. This spy is known as "spyware, adware, or trojans", and once it is in your computer it starts taking statistical information as you travel the Internet. In some cases, it may send you pop-up ads and slow down your computer. A wired.com article, mentions it "could even collect your credit card information".

How did you invite the spy?

Maybe you visited a website you knew and enjoyed only to find that it was recently purchased by a pornography site. The new company has imbedded "spyware" into the home page and now, in many cases without your knowledge, it is on your computer.

Maybe you downloaded a free or paid program and as part of the package you were provided with an added secret bonus ? a ?spyware? program. Spyware may also be placed on CD?s you purchase,...
