I'm looking to buy a computer for myself because the family computer we have is a peice of junk, I'm suprised it can even run WinXP. But anyways, I only have like $1000 CDN max to spend so I was looking at this computer and it seems to be a pretty good deal from a reliable company. http://www.mdg.ca/en/products/desktops/horizon/

That goes for $877, but they also have one that goes for $650, with 1gig RAM, 300gig HD, and a 17" flat panel monitor. Is it worth the extra money to go for the $877 one? I'm thinking it is, because I just drool over the fact of 2GB RAM when I'm on this junker with 256MB RAM!

looks nice to me

I think with all the free upgrades, it's a very good deal.

Very nice, I like that keyboard.

Alright, sounds great! Thanks!

nice to see you post again mate , don't be a stranger

looks good to me, but wat counts are the people ahead of me..lol

I think it's an awsome deal gettin 2gigs of Ram and a half a terabyte hdd for free? I wish I had a grande to spend on somin like that

Woah, hold on guys. It pays to do your research! Turns out these guys are notorious for their bait and switch tactics, and scamming you out by "upgrading" to inferior parts. Check out this site for many horror stories about MDG http://www.epinions.com/msg/show_~threads/...5/forum_id_~172

I think I'll just hold off for a while now, I'm kinda turned off of computer buying for now. Maybe I'll build my own, but at a later time when I have more money avaliable, just to get some more killer hardware!

that's wat I did and the peeps really helped me out on it...
