          Why should I? DVD is not only meant for porn... that statement is stupid to make.

            Well then maybe he's joking....although in the case that he's not, perhaps it was best to spam and reply seriously. (that's why everyone hates you Fez...you reply endlessly to things that no one would reply to. you are stupid!!)

            UR, why do you suggest no DVD player?

            Edit: Pekka, I dunno where you live, but in the US, on occasion, we can run across speciel "teacher/student" prices for Microsoft products. Or at least I read that we could a couple months ago. Anyone know about this?

              as for a new computer, don't bother. they're a passing fad anyway.

                DVD-ROMs aren't that expensive, why would you ever recommend not getting one?

                Not only will you be able to play DVDs with them, but CDs are becoming too small for modern games. Pretty soon they're going to stop shipping like 3-4 CDs (ala Neverwinter Nights) and just ship on 1 DVD. Many Linux distros already offer DVDs instead of multiple CDs.

                Recommending someone not get a DVD player on a new PC is possibly the stupidest thing you have ever said.

                  Yeah well I'm gonna get me a dvd, so more advises what player to buy please .

                  Rasbelin, I'm going to buy my stuff from verkkokauppa most likely. Are you by any chance working there? How about a nice friends deal? I got my last computer in tax free without the 22% tax.. It was nice.

                  I still need your comments about display devices, I'm really out what has happened with them. My current one is matrox agp 200, and that was state of the art then, and what has happened since then is out of my league. I'm hearing things about radeon etc.. nvidia, but I still like Matrox as a brand.. I don't know about these so I get my concepts mixed. It should be good for gaming, maybe some video editing and it should have tv-out.

                      I have some doubts about Dell.. but it doesn't matter, I already know my supplier. I just want to get enough info and opinions so I can make up my mind what to get.

                          I'll post more tomorrow, but a few quick comments.

                          Look at the list i posted. You'll probably notice a DVD-ROM and a CD-RW drive. In general I always recommend Plextor's high-quality drives as they're good, but not too expensive. The Lite-On DVD-ROM drive is the cheapest one on Verkkokauppa.com, but it's good too. At least I've never heard that anyone would have had a bad Lite-On CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.

                          I'm sorry, but I don't work there. If I would be working there, I'm sure you could get subsidised components. The reason why I recommend them is that they have a large variety of items, low prices and and excellent webshop.
                          I'm hearing things about radeon etc.. nvidia, but I still like Matrox as a brand.. I don't know about these so I get my concepts mixed. It should be good for gaming, maybe some video editing and it should have tv-out.
                          The list I made up includes a graphics card that has TV-out, but it also provides almost as good picture quality as Maxtor's cards, while nVidia's cards have so far always been bad in 2D picture quality compared to ATI and Matrox. That's also a reason why I'm now only using ATI's cards; but I would prefer Matrox, but because Parhelia wasn't out when I bought my current cards, I don't have any cards from Matrox now in use. I'll post more about this tomorrow. because I'm in a hurry now.

                          Kaak,

                          Pekka lives in Finland, so he can't order from you.

                              Oh and Rasbelin, your recommended set is very appealing to me. I like it a lot. The only thing I'm still wondering is that Hercules.. I have to find out more about that card.

                                Earlier this year ATI and Hercules agreed that Hercules would be the distributor of all ATI products in Europe from now on, because ATI wanted to concentrate on the North American market and on product development. So the Hercules branded crads are actually ATI manufactured products, but with Hercules' box and tags. I have one of these cards (a Radeon 7500 card); it's branded as Hercules, but the card is manufactured and marked with ATI's logo.
