We will only be using one computer for the next 2 years. A second comp will probably be purchased in 2 years(family of 4). We have a monitor, canon printer, and speakers(left, right and subwoofer).
bluetooth not needed, i have 2 and 5 year old kids and will never see an unattached component if they get a hold of it.
wifi not needed at this time.
and we don't watch much TV.
current comp is a 7 year old dell, can this comp be cannabilized. i'm guessing the stuff is too old to be worth it.
i'm clueless on processor, software, security, online backup, sound card and video card.
this iswhat i came up with for basic comp which totaled at $469(i have to keep it under $700)
