Hi,

I need some help from the tech guys on the list.

We have a couple of computers in the house, 1 pc and 1 notebook.

The pc is an older (2 years) Compaq and the notebook is a newer (1 year) Toshiba.

We are happy with the capabilites of the notebook, not so much with the pc.

We fried the monitor for the pc and I am looking at some of the larger flat screens in and around $250 to $300 cost range.

So, is it possible to get a little more cost-effective performance out of the pc? Is it worth it?

And, once I have all of the hardware, software, wireless stuff required we want to pay someone to come into our place and get the whole system working correctly. We need someone to step up the the plate that knows what they are doing and wants to make a few extra bucks, cash of course.

I put this in the buy/sell forum because I am looking to purchase hardware/software and pay for services.
