Aldo87 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Iv been toying with the idea of getting a new pc to replace my old one, so i'm just looking for a new base station with a decent spec. Could anyone give me some pointers as to what a decent processor speed, RAM and hard disk space etc is for possible streaming hd video and gaming, and where to buy from. Has anyone ever bought from ebay? Should something like this be avoided or is it a good buy? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400076139160&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Any help is appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexM Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 That should be avoided. Try looking through this thread, should be a little advice in there (this is about as helpful as I can be at this sort of hour.. ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Avoid eBay if you can, price might be tempting but hardware could be changed round before sending which could end up faulty. I'd recommend you speak to DamanC on here, he could most likely sort you out a decent baseunit to do the stuff you need to. With regards to streaming HD quality stuff you need to make sure you get good connection speeds from the exchange and if connected through wireless you have good signal strength. Your graphics are needs to be good in order to play high quality streaming, also need plenty of RAM Memory ideally Min 2GB worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
