    My brothers wife will primarily be using it. She is enrolled in a bunch of online classes. Also they download and play a lot of music. I don't know if they will use it much for gaming since my brother has a Nintendo Wii but it is a posibility. Im sure they would really like a bigger monitor but with the budget i was given i hated to sacrifice performance for screen size. Granted that with most of what they will be doing they won't need the perfomace as much but after having had both types myself, you really appreciate the speed/performance when you are using certain applications. There is nothing worse than trying to use several programs at one time and having the thing bog down. I will be sure to mention the laptop though. We have a Toshiba that i really like. With the advances in the memory and processor speeds, and wifi connectivity I have really learned to like them. My wife takes ours to school everyday for notes and for research. Most campuses nowdays have wireless internet. My next project is to hook up a wireless router in my home so she can sit and watch her favorite soap and surf the web at the same time. Man i love technology!

    I think that building a system from scratch makes very little sense unless you have a very specific use in mind that a OTT system won't satisfy. I'd rather buy a pre built system and upgrade the pieces I need when I need them. Eventually even the fastest computer out there will be obsolete.
