Cyberpowerpc is the best
Mar 30, 2008 5:46AM PDT

Just the other day i was customizing a computer on cyberpowerpc.com I have only a budget range for about 600 bucks, so i could not get exactly what i wanted. With that amount of money, you could get a Quad Core 4gb ram fully loaded pc that looks totally sweet! http://www.cyberpowerpc.com
For more computer problems, go to http://joelisafreak.9f.com/computermainmenu.html
Hope i can help!
