Hi Znurre and ArticWOlf
well ive been in uni for 3 weeks (2 days a week) and already have been given 4 assignments, i bought a 8gig USB so i can take my work werever i go without the computer...but i thaught get a desk with a laptop for the workspace and i would be able to work wherever i go or in one place, but unfortunately ive herd laptop battery time is really bad and i dont really want it switching off while im working and dont wanna be sat near every plug socket in the house

.
would be nice to have a desktop computer in one place where i go to work but i will have to stay there and might get bored... also i herd that desktop PC's are ment to be faster and also the keyboard is much easier to use since ive been typing on a proper keyboard for like ever...
well the screen size dont really matter unless i decide to play regnum it would have to be around 17+ so i can see around (plus im used to playing it on a 20 odd inch screen so easier to relate to). as long as i can confortably place my hands on the keyboard and reach all the keys without moving anything apart from my hands (without being squashed like the small notepads) il be allright =D.
o yea which would be best quality for the price.
will that archlinux run stuff like Microsofte Paint (big fan of experementing on paint due to bordness) and microsoft word?
THANKS FOR THE REPLYS
P.S ur not Dky are u....i get easily confused and ur sig either means that Dky is ur right hand man or you started playing on a knight?
