ive gathered enough money to buy a crappy computer from walmart that may or may not run cs:s should i give it a try or what http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=9721026
DONT DO IT!!!!!!! I bought an Acer. The motherboard overheated within the first month. Acer warranty? Nope. None. Wal-mart warranty? 70 or 80 bucks, but if you open the case it's void. Dude...just...don't do it.
it doesnt say what kind of graphics card is has, so its most likely integrated. In which case it WILL NOT play CSS very well. It might play it, but it will bitch and moan while doing it. The monitor is nice, but if you dont need that, then your better off building a system on your own.
