I’m looking for a prebuilt computer to go into my fitness room. It will be used for running a device called a “Computrainer” which is just a bicycling device that connects to it via USB. The purpose of the computer is to run some downloaded (maybe HD) movies on a 40” LED TV, and run the computrainer’s 3D graphics.
My requirements:
- Here’s a link to the system requirements of the 3D software: http://www.computrainer.com/html/sysreq.html
- Ability to run 2 monitors (40” LED display at 1920x1080, 24” monitor at 1920x1080)
- Watch downloaded HD movies, while running 3D software above
Price is the big issue for me.. I’d like to not “overkill” this setup because I’ve already gone over budget on the rest of the fitness room. Also I’ve assembled desktops myself before, but I have too many projects going on and would prefer to buy a preassembled box. No need for monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc.
Is spending in the $300-$350 range possible for a preassembled desktop computer?
