As a technician... For the laptop, I can really only recommend brands - Sony or IBM. For desktops... Athlon XP processor, certainly, on a KT333 chipset motherboard. 512MB PC2700 RAM, preferable CAS2 although CAS 2.5 is acceptable. I'd go for a motherboard with an IDE RAID controller, and get say two or three 60-80GB hard disks. Maxtor are the only people who use UDMA/133, so definitely Maxtor hard disks. For sound, a Soundblaster Audigy, for graphics one of the GeForce 4 Ti range. Monitors, I like Belinea (Maxdata) and Eizo. Andy Dawn Falcon
