How to buy a new computer
It made me
OMG! 
"6 year old PC. All parts replaced up to this point except the harddrive. Problem: New software will not run and websites are not loading correctly. (it's over)"
How I did it: Knew what I wanted. Knew major chain stores charge too much and builders mark up each component and equal amount, if not more. Settled on middle of the road PC from Costco. 2 yr warranty. Major name brand parts. Very happy.
Lessons & tips: Just go to Costco and save yourself 1 yr searching, and move forward.
Resources: Too many to list here. I might actually have had more fun reading than actually buying it.
