What dell would you recommend...

Apr 21, 2010 10:02PM PDT

In the next 8 weeks I plan on getting a new Dell desktop. Budget: less than $1000. Usage: music storage, editing and creating DVDs from pictures and video, light gaming and I would like to use it to watch TV. What would you recommend? Does Dell have a desktop with a TV tuner preinstalled w/remote?

But at the office these run for years without much fuss. Your post only makes one wonder why you still have this failure.

Just an anomaly of your machine. Here I don't see this problem and am surrounded by hundreds of Dells. Something is amiss with your machine and if you want to discuss it then put up a post in a forum such as Windows xp, or matching so members can help you find what is causing this issue. I read your other posts claiming you are an expert which means you would seek out help without pause.
