...assembled computer? Can anybody tell me whats the best configuration for assembled computer including the brand name?

First of all let me tell you, Its always best to buy an assembled machine.Assembling it yourself would be an added advantage and a wonderful experience.According to the current market scenario, the best configuration available is:Motherboard: P4 - Intel chipset (version: whatever available latest). Always go for an Intel Orignal Chipset to get the maximum performance. WITH TWO IDE and possibly 4 SATA ports.CPU: 3ghz or more.RAM: Atleast 1GB. If possible get 2 strips of 512MB each (Again to improve performance on P4 M-Boards)Harddisk: Atleast 120 GB or more (SATA for faster access)Monitor: Atleast 17" Samsung recommendedRest all is fancy and depends on your choice. Such as Keyboard, Mouse (Optical Recommended), Cabinet (Black with atleast 2 fans)

Hi,the configuration directly depends on ur interests, if u r using it for home then,Motherboard D101 intel, Processor P-4 3.0 MHz, 512MB/1GB ram, 160 gb hdd, are best suited... rest smaller components are not too critical, u can use anyone depending on ur likes and dislikes...
