In times like these we all need our electronics at reasonable prices, or better yet at prices below reason. Being a poor jobless college student, makes me more reserved with my spendings on electronics. After hunting for a cheap yet powerful PC (for gaming and editing) I've stumbled across some really fine deals that should be passed down to other resident cheap asses.
lenovo IdeaCentre K230
www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883108209
Price: $569.99 (free shipping)
This is a pretty rocking PC for your video editing needs. It has a Intel Core 2 Quad processor. It has 8 monstrous gigs of memory! and a terabyte of harddrive space! Think of all the porn you can download!/all the wrestling footage you can download! The best part is that that it's well under $600 bucks. The downside is the mediocre video card (Geforce 9300 GE), you aren't gonna be able to play any of the newer games on max settings. But if you crank down the graphics and resolution, even Fallout 3 can be playable. As a photo and video editing computer this PC really is suited for those needs, and with some upgrades later on you can have a pretty solid gaming rig also. Myself, I'm really considering on getting this.
One other note: It doesn't state on the newegg, but this computer has a 250w power supply, which really sucks. Plans on upgrading the video card, would require a swap of the power supply as well.
