Default Need to blow some tax money

Where do you guys in the
houston area know of with a good deal on a 1080p 60 inch LCD TV and i also need to find a good deal on a new desk top PC.

Frys? Best buy did not have anything i liked for a PC price wise, Wal mart did not, but their TVs are not to bad since i get 10% off.

Sounds like you have the firepower but you need to stock up on food! The apocalypse isn’t gonna be a walk in the park!

I bought all of my TV's online from a dealer on Ebay. Excellent service, no sales tax either. They are legit, one TV had a warranty issue and it was performed no hassle.

This was the store, Dad's Toys. http://stores.ebay.com/Dads-Toys-Inc?_rdc=1

That's what I was gonna say, build a gun lol. I'm gonna buy my AK 74 or AR 15 with mine hopefully. You can piece together a PC at fry's for a good deal and know everything will work right. You know what they say, build it once, **** apple.

I have a good friend that is in the know in building a PC, so if he has free time, i will run to Frys with him and spend a few hundo to make a bad *** PC, otherwise, if i found a tower ready to go i would jump on it but i have not had lick on the price department.

Will check Costco, but the Ebay seller Tony recommended was only selling LEDs at the size i am looking for and they are over the budget i am looking to spend on a LCD.

This is the best option, check out Fry's and Tigerdirect, they usually have bare bones at a great price with all the mixing and matching done for you, find something in your price range that you like and run it by your tech friend.

For sure, pretty sure you get twice the pc for half the price building it yourself from what he told me before.

Not very good prices.

I went to Fry's and got my PC tower already assembled with a 21.5" lcd, it ended up running about $650 iirc for the tower/monitor and was/still is plenty fast enough running 2 photo editing programs (memory intensive) along with whatever else I throw at it at once, I just talked to a couple techy friends who told me what specs I needed to look for.

PS, for a comparable Apple product, plan on spending about twice the money for the same processing power

That is true about the specs and money spent. I made the switch from windows pc to apple and I don't regret it one bit, windows is too glitchy. It's like comparing Patriot heads to AFR/TFS heads or pacesetters to Kooks/ARH. You will have people who are cheap and want good "specs" but the quality suffers.
