I know this an audio forum but considering we are all using a pc to get here I thought this question might be ok. I have been using a laptop thats about 5 years old but works great. I can burn dvd's, get my email, download music, basically everything I need. However when I built my house I wired vga cables to the plasma tv's incase I ever wanted to install a pc. My thoughts are it would be nice to have a wireless keyboard and sit on the couch every now and then to search for things and whatever else.
After thinking about my options I thought it would be nice to build my own. I already have a windows xp disc I would use for the operating system. Do I basically buy a tower with a built in power supply, motherboard, hard drive, ram chips, and dvd burner? I have swapped out drives in other desktops and found it to be very simple. Do I just buy this stuff, put it together and then install XP, or am I missing something?
BTW I dont plan on using it for games.
