need advice on computer packages - never owned one

[ryank]

This is killing me. I can hear very few sound samples from this web tv. and in the near future i want to be able to make mp3's. I need musicmatch program right? Myquestion is - what computer packages, or brands would you recommend? I like simplicity, and I'm very ignorant on this subect. I want to be able to hear real audio, and other audio, and i'd like to have the equipment to make mp3's. It will be a while before i purchase, but I want to have some good info first. I don't want anything glamorous, just the components that will do the job. To whoever responds, thanks for the feedback.

If your only need to do basic things all you need is a $500 set up at comp usa . and get rid of dial up internet cox rules. fast as shit.

Dell has some good offers. So does Gateway. They have packages where you can trade up to the latest greatest system, plus they have support. It just depends on how much you want. Even basic Walmart stuff will work, as long as your happy with it for at least 3 years, some are not upgradeable. Shop around, but do like OU812 recommended, get Cox. I'm using Directv DSL, it's good. I had cox before, wasn't pleased with the customer service I received when I had problems.
