We all know what it is like, you have kids that need computer hardware upgrades for school or college or you just need another machine or monitor around the house. If you are buying secondary computer hardware does it need to be top of the line? Not really. Here is my point.
I needed a second lcd monitor around the house. Do I need a top of the line model? Nope. I shopped around online at the box stores, looked through the free or trader websites and asked friends if they had anything laying around they wanted to get rid of. I found a pretty decent or new monitor with a ding in the top of the screen. You can't even notice it when the monitor is on but the owner wanted to get rid of it.
I went out looking for a mouse for use with my laptop. I bought a $60 cordless mouse. I took it back the next day and bought a $15 wired mouse. What do I care if it is plugged in or not as long as it does what I want it to.
You have to ask yourself. Do you need a top of the line Nasa powered computer system or can you get away with something less expensive that does what you want. Keep your money in the bank, pay off your credit card and settle for something in your price range and gets the job done.
