1st one 3-weeks ago, online HP Pavillon, graphics card kept crashing Windows while playing CSS. returned it and bought an HP Media Center - AMD 4200, 1gb ram, good card at CompUSA, but it disconnects from the internet at random while playing CSS ot just surfing the net. HP tech told me to do a system recovery, worked for awhile and now the same problem exists. If I take this back what PC should I get? Have roughly $1200 budget.

Thanks

If you return it then you should build your own computer with the $1200. Im assuming you already have monitor, keyboard etc, right? What do you want to do with the computer, overclock, gaming, multimedia? People here could build you a very nice computer with that money.

Whose legit in here? Do they warranty their product? Offer free phone support? Easy returns?

Anyway, HP can't figure out my problem so they have tried to throw it over to my provider, Comcast, saying it's THEIR problem. Funny they always throw the blame when they can't figure out something. Also, I have 3 other PC's that are running fine playing CSS and surfing the net on the same router.

For $1200 you can build a pretty nice PC from Monarch Computers. Check out their custom system, I'd bet you can get a better one from them than from HP.

i agree custom is the way to go, though not alienware they can be overpriced.
