Indeed this such questions have been asked before. Alas, an archive search did not give quite what I need, so here goes... I would like to build a client box powerful enough for development work; including app development using GUI frameworks, web stuff including server side scripting, etc. This would also be my fun machine. Here are some of the recommendations I am after: CPU: P4's have come down in price: a 1.5Ghz is around CAD$230. Of course a P3 is much cheaper and a Celeron is even more so. RAM: I can definitely afford 256Mb and possibly 512Mb, I think going to a 1Gb would be a stretch. Motherboard: not at all sure here: have heard good things about ASUS Video: again not sure here Monitor: I have heard good reviews about some Samsung models, again not sure In terms of the HD, CDRW/DVD ROM, etc. I am okay with. So, if you have a few moments I would appreciate your input. I want to limit my spending to around CAD$1500, maybe maxing out to CAD$2000 with a large monitor, etc. Thanks, Hanif.
