I'm looking for a good computer that can play hl2 and hl games with 100 fps or around that area. I was wondering if this was the best deal I could get http://www.nanosys1.com/sys-g4375.html

looks decent enough to me, esspecially for the price. idk if you'll get 100 fps out if it for sure or not myself. then again you just might.

I decided to go a little cheaper and get an e-machines. Intel Celeron 2.7ghz with 1gb of ram for only $289. I figured I'll just buy a better video card and it would be cheaper.

buy AMD... stay away from that Celery crap
buy this...
and this... video card
you won't be sorry 
you need ram to..
if you don't have all the money.. buy the bare bones first and the rest as you can... keep the machine you have for another month or two... what ever it takes... 3 months after the e machine... you will wish you had...

intel chips are so expensive because of the name. they should only be about 1/8th of the price of an AMD chip. thats all they can do.. ;)
when was the last time you saw AMD with 2 then 3 then 4 guys painted blue on tv?
at a cost of billions of dollars a year for advertisment?
who do you think pays for the advertisment on tv?

I just bought this computer cause it was cheap and it was better than my last one. AMD Athlon(xp) 2500+, 1.83ghz. 1 gig of ram. 72gb of hard drive space. It sorta took a dump on me, nothing will display on the monitor when I turn it on. I took it to compusa and they said it'd cost $300+I gotta buy the parts just to fix it. So I figured I'll just get a new one.

yep they would want $300.00 and i bet they tried to sell you a new one.
what did they say was wrong with it?
my other machine is a XP 2600 and i luv it.
but i just wanted a 64- bit machine... 
Bane has a XP 2500 over clocked.
let us know what is fried and maybe we can help you out.
will the machine post? does it go beep? when you try to boot it up?
can you get into the Bios and reset to factory defaults?
try that first.
if you just have no display from windows could be a video card or a bad onboard chip, that can be fixed the a video card.
could be a bad stick of ram.... i don't know i can't see it so you have to post it... give me as much detail as you can.

if you were running an XP 2500 it means that you already have an ATX form factor case and power supply.
and i would assume around 400 watt.
if you want to rebuild your old case you can do it your self cheap and save some money by using some of your old stuff.
cd, hard drive etc if you like.
or just the case and power...
and you want to go 64 bit dual core..
Cheap board and chip
you will have to buy ram..
and video card.. but doesen't ave to be high end to game.
you don't want to buy a board for AGP cards.. they are so yesterday... lol.
and any board that has AGP will not be fast enough or up-gradable in the future.
