The only consideration is if you are a serious gamer or musicer. Then you
are going to want a high dollar video card or a high dollar MIDI/Sound
card. But, if you are looking for a general purpose computer the price is
reasonable.


I rarely (if ever, now that I think about it) play games on the computer.
I use it mostly for midi sequencing and manipulation ... basically as a
musical word processor (using CakeWalk) to correct all my screwups after I
record something using one of the keyboards. Other than checking the
finished file, I use the sound engines in the keyboards for "live"
performances.

I mess around with audio recordings using programs like "Audacity" and a
couple of others, but most anything important enough to save is burned to a
CD. Same with pictures taken with the camera. That's why the computer I
have now still has most of it's hard drive unused.

Lately I've been making slide show presentations and converting them to
DVD's. It's fun, but probably just a bored, winter time, cold, snowy,
crappy season type activity.
