Answer
GOOD power supply!! I mean good, don't go by it's specs (don't believe all your told lol) Google power supply's and how to choose, read reviews.

This is THE most important component in your build, without it nothing works! I have seen so many failures and so many strange hard to track problems that end up to be .....yep power supply. Do start with one and work your way up, you won't regret it.

Get an idea of spec you want for your rig CPU, Graphics, Drives, Accessories (Lights?) USB Devices to work out wattage, add a bit, no go find a GOOD supply.

What are important specs when buying a laptop that will replace a desktop?

Darren B

I am trying to stay under or around $1000 and still run like a desktop. My wife and I are getting a Nikon D80 Digital Camera for Christmas and we also download a lot of music. We are not into gaming, however we would like to be able to watch and burn DVD movies. What are some suggested specs for a Laptop to run like a desktop and also be able to do the above things listed?
