If there are any, the price has to be under $2,000 dollars.
What kind of computer should I get for gaming?
Go to a computer store and tell them that you want a computer with the following components inside at a minimum...
2GB of RAM
Intel Core Duo (2Ghz per core) processor
DirectX9 graphics card (NVidia GeForce 7xxx series or ATi equivalent)
800dpi mouse
17" monitor
If you can, get better specs than described if you have the money, but those should do for a serious gamer on a budget.
Don't get an AMD processor as they're worse for both value and performance.
You probably want to get a DirectX 10 graphics card if you can (NVidia Geforce 8800GTX or 8800GTS) as these support DirectX10 which is what Windows Vista will support and the latest games will be taking advantage of it.
Reply:there is all u need r three thing 2 look at. the video card the mem. and the processor make sure the video card is at least 256mb r higher the mem. is at least a Gb and pent 4
Reply:I you have $2K to spend on a PC I would recommend you research the various pieces of hardware so that you know what you are talking about and then go to a local Computer Shop (reputable of course) and have them build you one.
That way you get what you really want and they're local if you have any problems.
I just bought a Dell XPS but it's not rated for "high end" games/gamers. I opted for the 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and only 1 Gig of RAM.
A top end Dual core is going to cost about $1000. A 2.6 GHz will run abut $500. DDR2 SDRAM runs about $150 for 1 Gig. Then add on all the rest of the hardware.
Bottom line is that you can eat up $2K real fast.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

build your own
it's gonna cost about 400
it's easy
just make sure it's a "asus motherboard"
and a radeon video card

Reply:What NOT to get - Name brands like "Dell", "Alienware", "Voodoo", "Gateway", "HP", etc.
What to get - I personally like www.ibuypower.com, my PC is from there and I love it, plus it was a great price.
If you buy a major name brand PC, you are paying a LOT of money just to get that name (even if the service isn't any better). Alienware is infamouse for overcharging (along with mediocre customer service), and VoodooPC is just INSANE when it comes to pricing. Dell is alright for low-end computers for work and school, but NOT for gaming.
Reply:You should go to www.cyberpowerpc.com you can custumize your own pc with your prefrences that website makes gaming pc i am currently ordering mine and it looks pretty good for gaming.
If you don't want to custumize it you can choose from a lot of gaming pc they have there you should check it out.
You can get a very fast gaming computer for 2000 dollars.

Does a CRT monitor make that much difference when gaming?
I've heard that CRTs have truer colors, and are superior for gaming, is this true?
Does a CRT monitor make that much difference when gaming?
CRTs do have a better range of colours. They also tend to have less blurring of quickly moving images.
That being said LCDs are making significant improvements in both areas.
For the best range of colours look for a LCD that has TCO'03 certification. This has requirements for the saturation of the red green and blue primary colours that are used to make up all the colours on the screen. It also has requirements for gray scale tracking, another traditional problem for LCDs.
LCD manufacturers are regularly quoting panel switching speeds. Pick the lowest value to get the least blurry image. Check the specs though, a low gray-to-gray speed is better than a low black-to-white speed. (seems like it should be the other way around but it is not.)
CRTs also handle multiple resolutions better than LCDs. So if your graphics card can't hack a decent frame-rate at 1440 by 900 (19" widescreen native res.) it is not going to be as crisp a picture when you drop the resolution.
However, CRTs are huge space and power hogs, and have to deal with all sorts of geometry problems.
Reply:I haven't heard anything specific about CRT vs. LCD monitors and gaming, but I think it would be the other way around.
An LCD monitor usually produces a clearer and cleaner image and is easier on the eyes. In terms of "easy on the eyes," a 15-inch LCD monitor is as good as a 17-inch CRT due to the higher image quality of the LCD.
For general computer use, I'd recommend an LCD monitor over a CRT in a heartbeat, if you have a choice. I don't see any reason why it would be any different for gaming.
Reply:so far, yes
not to mention that the refresh rate is much higher than most lcds.
Reply:I doubt if either statement is true. LCDs (or plasma) are the preferred monitors, and, in fact, CRTs are on the way out.
Reply:too be honest it dosent really make a difference to me i have a 19 in crt and a 19 inch lcd they look very simular just the crt is bigger and bulkyer
Reply:It is true that CRT's are on the way out, but they do work better for gaming because of the refresh rates as mentioned above. But most people would not notice the difference.
Reply:There are two issues sometimes raised concerning CRT vs. non-CRT monitors: refresh rate and true color. With respect to the first, slow refresh rates were an issue with early LCD monitors, but that problem has largely been resolved. I can see no difference, for example, watching a movie (say, "The Matrix") on my Sony Trinitron CRT and my Acer LCD (they're both 17 inches). Color rendition can vary a bit among monitors -- though there's little to no difference between these two -- but that can usually be adjusted with software.
I think the best advice for monitors is similar to that for loudspeakers: go someplace where you can see the alternatives for yourself, and trust your own eyes (or ears, as the case may be).
Reply:In few Word, yes. Bellow you can see why:
A)Flexible resolution:
That means on a CRT monitor, you can get resolutions more than 1920 x 1440, (even from a 17inch. monitors, see Philips 107P) when on flat panels monitors (LCD,TFT,etc.) BEST RESOLUTION IS fixed with each monitor. (That means if you change resolution,you loss on quality)
b) A CRT monitor can display the maximum number of colors when LCD can't.
C) Sharpness (mean clearness of colors are perfect when you use an LCD monitor in it's best resolution, while on CRTs sharpness depends on some facts like focus,soft edges, etc.
D)There ia s flicker on some CRT monitors when run in low refresh rate, bellow 75 HZ, (problem though eliminated with new graphic cards, refresh rate is even bigger than 120 HZ). LCD monitors are flicker free.
E) DOT PITCH(the area between 2 pixels) The smaller the better. CRT monitors are better on this area from LCD (for same screen size monitors).
F) Respond time (The time need a pixel to change) On CRT monitors this time is almost Zero(0) while in LCs this time ,even real small, does exist.
That mean when you view a video or a motion picture (like in games) the pixel change instantly on a CRT monitor, while take some time on LCD.
So, you can VIEW changes on pictures in real time, on CRT monitors,while on LCD this take some time.
G) Flexibillity:
You can change resolution and refresh rate on aCRT monitor so you can get the best performance while watch a video or play games.
LCD monitors come with a fixed refresh rate and resolution for best image quallity, so this narrow your choices.
CONCLUSION.
RESOLUTION, REFRESH RATE, RESPONSE TIME, are CRITICAL FACTORS for GAMES or VIDEO, and in this area CRT monitors are much better than LCD.
SHARPNESS and COLOR CLEARNESS are CRITICAL FACTORS for still images,and designs, and here LCD monitors are much better for CRT.
That's why GAMERS, VIDEO EDITORS, or any people who involved in motion pictures or graphics they prefare CRT monitors.
Photographers, designers, they prefare LCD.
Also for home users, price is another FACTOR.
To get a LCD monitor same as CRT (17inch,m for example) you need at least 2.5 times more money than to buy a CRT.

How to surf the web and play online gaming simultaneously?
I bought a DYNEX router and it doesn't connect me to the internet at all but I could connect with my modem. So can someone help me with step by step instructions to connect both my labtop and xbox 360 simultaneously to the internet.
Please I need some help
How to surf the web and play online gaming simultaneously?
it should all be printed on your booklet... setting up a router is not that difficult but it will be hard to follow instructions if you are not doing it simultaneously when instructed... problems maybe encountered and we cant address the issue right away.

What is the bast way to buy a gaming laptop that is cheap.?
I'm low on cash all the time and I'm in college. I need a laptop for college but I want to be able to play FPS shooter games on it like Half-Life 2: Deathmatch and Counter Strike: Source. Everytime I get close to having enough money to buy one I get hit with some bill that I have. I have tried to get it through my finace department in school but they say that I can't, But I still see everyone else getting it through them. I don't want to to have to get a credit card or any drastic measures that could hurt my credit in the future. any advice will help.
What is the bast way to buy a gaming laptop that is cheap.?
You must spend your money for the best brand.
As I know HP and Dell are the best in laptops for a long time and they are very reliable too. I trusted HP and I bought a HP laptop 2 years before, and still like the day I bought it. Didn't even have to service it at least once up to now.
I recommend you to buy a HP (with experience) or Dell laptop.
On www.hp.com you can even customize your laptop. And also you can check the price.
Reply:A decent gaming laptop will run you about $1600 minimum and then your still looking at playing on medium graphics settings.
Here is one for under $2k and will serve you well,

What equipment is need in setting up a Internet / Gaming Cafe with 10 -20 PCs?
What equipment is need in setting up a Internet / Gaming Cafe with 10 -20 PCs. Also where can I find information on starting up one.
What equipment is need in setting up a Internet / Gaming Cafe with 10 -20 PCs?
Equipment :-
Plenty of sockets where the PC's will be (Don't go using extension leads unless it's 1 PC per extension lead and they're wall mounted).
Plenty of ethernet cable. (Even better if you have the cabling from the server room to the PC points sunk in to the floor or wall)
10 - 20 PC's
Managed Hub/Switch - I'd say get one with more ports than you need to accomodate future expansion. Managed so you can set transfer rate thresholds for each PC to share the bandwidth evenly.
Server - You'll need a server so you can remotely lock/unlock your client PC's and control what they can't look at.
Router - Always handy having a router to manage the internet connection.
That should cover the hardware needs of an iCafe, software is another thing.
No idea where you'd be able to find detailed information on setting a business like an iCafe up but dropping a few terms like 'setting up an internet cafe' in to a search engine should throw up some results.
Reply:Obviously the PCs, as well as at least one router and a very fast internet connection.
As for setup info, try some of these:

What materials do you need for wii online gaming?
and do you have to have a Wii LAN Adapter and Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector. And what router do you reccomend?
What materials do you need for wii online gaming?
You need a router. If you don't want to spend up to 200 dollars on a router, for 40 dollars, you can buy the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB connector. So much better. It only works with Window XP, but once you install the softaware and register your wii (its really simple), you have wi-fi. It was made for people without routers, so if you don't have one, just buy this.
If you choose to go the way of the router, it's a little harder. here it is in simple steps.
i) Go into wii settings
ii) Go to the third page (I think 3rd) and click internet.
iii) It should have 3 boxes going down. Click the first one.*
iv) Click Wireless*
v) it will either ask, or just start to search for an access point. If it asks, just click yes.
vi) If your router is password-protected you will have to enter the password ( it will pop up right away once the connection is found)
vii) Once you enter the password, you should be done, it might ask you to shut down your wii (it will do it automatically, you don't have to press the button). Just click yes.
viii) You should be done! now you have wifi.
If you decide to go the way of the USB connector.
i) install the software that comes on the CD when you buy the pacakge.
ii) Once the software is installed, an icon on your desktop toolbar should be there. Click into it.
iii) a small window will come up that says nintendo USB connector, and there will be a list of usernames registered. THere should be none at the moment.
iv) Like with the router, go into your wii internet settings, and test for a connection.
v) Go to the window on your computer and after a short while you wii username will pop up and it will be asking to connect. Just click enable.
vi) Voila! You have wifi
Hope all of this helps.
Reply:you just have to have a regular 102.11g wireless router. You must be near the router for it to work. You must have everything for the router to work. I use a linksys router that I got in June, 2004, so just about any router will do. The wii already has the wireless capabilities in it.

How much does it cost to build a gaming computer?
well to clear things up.
it's terabyte
and you can only have up to 4 gigs of ram before you have to go to server motherboards, unless you get a strange one which may support up to 8 gbs
But i'm currently building one of the top of the line computers with a custom cooling system (high tech stuff, you may or may not understand) but it is costing me 3000 right now
and i willl upgrade later on this year, possibly next year.
But um gaming computers, depends on what games
but generally from 600 bucks
to about 10,000 bucks.

For better performance include special processor cooling
Examples are:
Air cooling (Zalman 9700)
Watercooling (Best is a custom made one)
TEC cooling (Watercooling system with sub zero or sub ambient temperatures)
Phase Changing (What i'm getting, it basically heats up a refridgerant then brings it to the processor, once it evaporates, it pulls all the heat from the processor creating sub zero temperatures, my phase changer reaches negative 70 degrees celcius)
Reason for cooling:
Overclocking
Stability
Comfort

Parts not for sale yet:
Auzentech X-Fi Prelude sound card
Intel Core 2 Duo E6850
For better performance include special processor cooling
Examples are:
Air cooling (Zalman 9700)
Watercooling (Best is a custom made one)
TEC cooling (Watercooling system with sub zero or sub ambient temperatures)
Phase Changing (What i'm getting, it basically heats up a refridgerant then brings it to the processor, once it evaporates, it pulls all the heat from the processor creating sub zero temperatures, my phase changer reaches negative 70 degrees celcius)
Reason for cooling:
Overclocking
Stability
Comfort
