This is a short guide to buying all the components you’ll need for a cheap computer and gives information about each component.
By selecting parts only from Newegg.com I wanted to see if I could get all the components for a desktop computer and it cost no more than $200. ($200 not including the monitor and other accessories , just the computer.) Ill update the example items and prices every few weeks.

I just went to see the new Star Trek movie last night, and it is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Even if you don’t like star trek at all you’ll still probably like this movie.
Thankfully they didn’t change the storyline like I, and alot of other people, thought they might do. The special effects are awesome and they have some really good actors, especially Leonard Nimoy.
If you havn’t seen it yet you really need to. It’s well worth any amount of money for the ticket.

On May 3rd a fan film for lord of the rings was released. It’s called “The Hunt For Gollum.” If you havn’t seen it yet you need to stop what your doing right now and go watch it:
http://thehuntforgollum.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html
The film tells what happened right before the fellowship of the rings movie. They had a budget of only 6000euros, but with that small budget they did a lot.
Of all the independent/fan films that I’ve seen (around 4-5), this one is actually pretty good. It almost bridges the gap between fan film and actual full length movie. I really enjoyed it and if you like lord of the rings or the hobbit, you’ll like it too.

Does it sometimes seem on Linux like FireFox is just too bloated and slow? Well one reason is that FireFox is not a native Linux program. It is programed originally for windows and then ported to Linux, which means it’s not always going to run as good or as fast as it will on windows.
I just recently got fed up with how slow FireFox has become on my computer. so I set out to find a new, Linux native, web browser.
The following is a list of browsers I tried out and what I though of each.
