I do not understand. Do you mean you want a computer? Or a hard drive, the device inside the computer that acts as storage? Right now, I can't tell what you are asking about.

1) is there n e that have bluetooth built in?Xplosive08

Adding Bluetooth is easy to do for any computer. Get a USB Bluetooth device (such as this one, though I'm guessing you do not live in the United States, so find one from a shop that ships to your location).

2) is there n e that have wireless internet built it?Xplosive08

Again, adding a card like this to any desktop computer will allow it to access a wireless hub.

3) what lead will i need to connect the computer to the HDTV?Xplosive08

That depends on two things. The first is, what is your graphics card? The card should come with the computer. If you have a card with a DVI port (which would be the case for any add-on card), and your TV has an HDMI port, you would use an HDMI-to-DVI cable. If your computer only has a VGA port or has none at all, it would be best to buy an add-on graphics card to give you DVI or HDMI.

i want a modern and up-to-date computer wid windows XP or better, n a gd processor.Xplosive08

"Good processor" depends on whay you're using the computer for. Are you going to be playing modern games on it? If so, you'll want to look for an Intel processor like this or this, in addition to a good graphics card like this. If you're just going to be watching movies, recording them, and things like that, either a lower-end Intel or AMD (like this) will work just fine. Most computers being sold in the retail market at a mid-range price should suit you fine.

you need

motherboard

ram

videocard

hard drive

case

power supply

dvd drive

and for you wireless/bluetooth card

and windows if you don't already have it.

You'd be surprised at how simple putting it together really is. The only things you need are a phillips screw driver and an hour or two of free time. It's a great alternative to buying one because you get to choose exactly what fits your needs and you often spend a good amount less money. Also, as it looks like you want a computer for movies and such, you can a select a case that is styled to look like an AV receiver. You can go ahead and buy one, but at least give some thought to doing it yourself.

well first don't take a bad tower for cable manamgent such as antec 900 good cooling realy noisy
but small for a medium and not recommend for that
while armor MX + VH8000BWS I think ? for aound 80-90pound is a good tower that may last you 5 year with the stock-fan
that come with tower while you could see other model from http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=701&catid=7
but the only got is bigger brother the supoer tower at 120Pound while the other is expect to be find somewhere in uk for 80pound
well me id get the super since i know those tower last for a long time the fan :P can be changed so tower is eternal

First off, please reformat your grammar. I feel like just replying with "SYNTAX ERROR".

Secondly, it's ATX. The motherboard is still oriented the same way, just the PSU is on the bottom. The wires either go over and around the motherboard, or they go under and around the motherboard. Either way is the same. And with the growing prevalence of modular PSUs it's even more moot.

Thirdly, I have one. It's wired rather neatly, with everything bundled and going around the edge of the motherboard or behind the hard drive cages. The only visible wire crossing the middle of the case is the unavoidable side panel fan power lines.

Thanks pps, but i live in UK. What do you mean imprezawrx500? buy all the parts seperately and then put it all together myself? i wouldn't know how to put it all together :(

Xplosive08

you must have a local pc store near you that you can buy all the parts from then for a small fee they will put it together and have it working for you

you mean only tower form dell right ? not a whole pc else your a damn morron. cause
there ram value for all Internets website i saw in uk : for 59 pound i made my friend got ram that worth-ed 200 pound for 1055mhz instead of 667mhz 4GB and in usa 2GB = 200$ from dell 667mhz : & 400$ For 4GB 800mhz
while for that Mooney you get The famous G-skill 1600mhz DDr3 wich are way more expensive then those 40-50$ For 4GB DDR2 of ram 800mhz the G-skill 1600mhz worth 380$ to 350

so bassicly dell sell what worth 30$ at 200$ : and what worth 60$ at 400$
for pc build inside all instal
so it like if you bough a a pespi a big mac and a large fries for 45.99$
instead of 7,50$
