I want a powerful media PC, but I don?t want to pay the equivalent to a Donald Trump apartment in New York City. Here a list of what I want to do:
1. Lots of video editing
2. Heavy Music downloads
3. Play video games
4. And all other powerful functions of a media pc
So basically, I would like my computer system to look, sound, and work just like a home theater with the combined experience, power and flexibility of Windows XP. I have a budget of $1000.00. Any recommendations?
