If you can't build your own PC then go and buy a cheap DELL PC and
upgrade it yourself as and when you can in your own time. DELL gives
you the original backup OS CDs for a small fee. The OS is OEM but it
works very well.

open for additional video or audio card i liked compaq cause they used to
have the option of good tech support ie u were able to talk to a rep and let
them enter your computer to see issues unlike dell that tells u always format
the hd lol, normally if my hd failed i had a backup i could install or i just
reinstalled everything so im guessing thats the same with the compaq i dont
wanna get burned only got $400 to play with

but was told compaq sucks that they put spyware on all there machines
and that they come with no recovery disks with my current system if i
lost my main hard drive i would drop in win xp cd and reinstall
everything i heard with compaq u dont have a cd that the cd is a
seperate partition on the hd but if hd fails or is removed u dont
have that option...im stuck HELP
I have not heard of Compaq putting spyware on their computers. As Carey
says they may put limited trial software on there but that is all. The XP
you get preinstalled will be the same as XP from other companies except each
company will add their own stuff to it.
As for the recovery discs, its likely they do what many other major
companies do and thats put the restore set on a hidden partition. You can
create your own restore disc out of this partition.
