Does anybody know any good websites to buy desktop computer towers?

Q. I have a fairly new LCD HP desktop monitor and am looking to buy just the computer tower to go with it. I am also not sure about which brands are compatible with my monitor or if only HP brand computers will work with it. Does anybody know any good websites where I can get one?

A. YOu can get any tower pretty much and it will go with that monitor. I perosnally like HP, they sem to have the best value ,although dell had some pretty good deals latly. I would avoid places like Tigerdirect. posted above. They are great sites for the intermediate user, but it sounds to me like you could benefit from the added support that a company like HP can offer you.

Email me and I can help you pick out a CPU you suit your needs and budget.

Original Question

can I use my laptop as a monitor for my desktop?

Q. My son cracked my LCD desktop monitor. I have a old CRT monitor that I'm using until I get a new one, but my wife has a laptop. Is there anyway I can connect my desktop to her laptop and use the monitor without taking apart her laptop?

A. You can't really connect the desktop directly to the laptop panel but you can use what's known as remote desktop if the two computers are networked. You install the software on both computers, connect, and then you can use the desktop from the laptop.

I use and recommend TightVNC which is available free from http://www.tightvnc.com/ It's nice to have wireless access to my desktop from my laptop, especially since my desktop is much more powerful.

(unfortunately TightVNC doesn't work with Windows Vista but if you search Google for "remote desktop software" and you might be able to find something)
