My 14 month old laptop died on Monday (the warranty was only 12 months.) We figured out it was the mother board and it will cost at least $300 to replace it, which is not worth it. I decided that I am going to buy a new desktop but I don't really know a whole lot about computers.

I need to buy a new computer ASAP! I'm hoping to order it within the next 24 hours so I could (hopefully) have it by Monday. I only have $600 that I am able to spend on the computer.

I store all of my music and movies on my computer, also a lot of pictures and documents.
When I'm on the computer I run a lot of applications at once. I always have aim open, I have several different internet tabs open, I have itunes running, word, Autocad, and sometimes games.
I play games on my computer (mainly WoW.)
The reason I need the computer ASAP is because I have a project due in less than 2 weeks that I need Autocad for.

I'm wondering if people could please help me out by telling me what I would need in a computer (graphics card, memory, storage space, processor, etc.) Maybe even suggest some computers for me.

Also my laptop that broke was an HP, I want to stay away from HPs. I do not want another one.
Also, I'll be using this computer for the next few years.
 
like the same thing happened to me, is this my dad????
 
HPs laptops SUCK... HP desktops are ok...

This will do ya.
