Did anyone buy a new computer recently? If yes,what is the latest development in technology in the hardware configuration and is it at a reasonable price? What is your hardware configuration and which of the brand parts are cheaper and of good quality?

Hi Ragavendran, I always check several shops on the Net so that I can see the newest hardware and the prices and go from there.
I purchased a new computer 2 months ago, and installed Vista Ultimate on it too and it works brilliantly in comparisson to my older system.
