selecting a starter computer for the video production business

Hello everyone viewing this blog i thought  i would update everyone out there on what all has been going on the last few days. so heres what all has been going on..

I have a laptop which i use to record live video from the built in webcam(buit in webcam video sucks) and to make my whiteboard videos on and my explainer type videos on, well over the past 3 months its been giving me a headache starting with getting a message on windows to back up my data and replace the hard drive, well i thought it might had been some bogus pop up thing that you sometimes get and and really didnt pay any attention to it until it came to one day about 3 weeks ago when i restarted my computer before the windows loaded i got an error messsage saying "imminate hard drive failure" so.... everytime i start up my laptop now i cross my fingers that it is gonna load...

I am use to having refubished computers or "hand me downs" actually the computer i am using right now to type this blog post is one that i got a steal on, Its an apple ibook g4 ( i know the computer experts out there are like ( wow does that even still work) and the answer is YES. Is it the fastest? NO!! can it newer programs? NO!!! but with that being said its a nice laptop to use for my writings and for my blogs and what not..

So back to the main reason i am writting this blog post, I have been looking at desktops to find one to get, the one i have sitting on my desk is an olld emachine, which i dont currently have a monitor for and it only has 512mb ram and 80 gb hd. So i have a solution i plan on getting a use monitor and getting a Dell Optiplex 745 for my starter computer for my video production, and storing completed videos in the cloud until i can afford to upgrade that computer.

The dell Optiplex and monitor is gonna cost me about $75, that is alot better then paying $400 or $500 for a brand new computer..
