TheBlackOut 6 Posted July 4, 2008 But they look 10 times better than windows and have garageband on them If that's how you view Macs I guess, sure. I think they look 10 times uglier. I hated the Mac Book when I used one. Share this post Link to post

BlyTwo 0 Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) why do people buy full computers? (not saying you did) (PS NO DELLs OR HP full comps FOR SURE! Unless you like spammed crap software) custom build is the way to go (people think it is hard, it isn't really, the only tricky part is all the little plugs) and wireless? nasty unless you buy the very best possibly obtainable but mine?.... well... it kinda sucks at the moment... > Case: donno, it is black, red and has a Z on the front > CPU: Pentium D 2.80GHz > RAM: 2GB > HDD: 20 GB (very slow, and makes that annoying grinding noise ) > ODD: DVD ROM > MBoard: HP something > Monitor 1: Sony Trinitron Multiscan E400 (19") > Monitor 2: SEANIX (17") > Mouse: OCZ Equalizer (Dpi changer button, triple click, forward/back buttons) > Keyboard: Logitech > Speakers: Logitech X-240 (2.1) > OS: Windows XP Professional, 2002, Service Pack 3 > Video Card: ATI Radeon 2600 (better than sounds) > Onboard Audio: High Defenition 5.1 > USB 2.0 PS, i have that stupid problem with windows crashing randomly, there is a way to fix, but can't find the fix for Dr. Watson Postmortem Debugger Edited November 6, 2008 by BlyTwo Share this post Link to post

Inferno 22 Posted November 6, 2008 why do people buy full computers? (not saying you did) (PS NO DELLs OR HP full comps FOR SURE! Unless you like spammed crap software) My two year old Dell still runs RA3 on high so w/e for you Share this post Link to post
BlyTwo 0 Posted November 6, 2008 so? yes you can buy a Dell comp that can support Crysis, but if you buy a full Dell comp or a HP they spam the HDD with crap programs (like pain in the a** advertisements that pop up all the time) Share this post Link to post

BlyTwo 0 Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) It is also WAY cheaper to but the parts separately PS. my comp cost me $150, mouse was $10, and speakers were $30 Edited November 7, 2008 by BlyTwo Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 40 Posted November 7, 2008 No one's arguing that parts by themselves are cheaper but prebuilt systems are much better today than they were 3 to 5 years ago. Share this post Link to post

Chronojam 3 Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) Let me regale you with a tale of my awesome system. CASE: Small form factor Optiplex GX270 CPU: Intel P4 (2.8GHZ) Cooling: Strange horizontal 30mm fan, stock CPU fan Motherboard: Small form factor GX270 motherboard RAM: 1.5 Gigs Crucial DDR Video Card: GF4 MX440 64MB AGP 8X HDD: Seagate Barracuda 150 GB in the floppy bay, Western Digital 80 GB that doesn't work ODD: Some cheap DVD writer from Staples but it stays pretty cool Monitor: Envision G2219W1 22" LCD (Widescreen) Keyboard/Mouse: Logitech G15 Keyboard / G5 Mouse Speakers: Some $60 Logitech stuff OS: Windows XP SP3 When you get down to it, any parts of my computer that you can see, touch, or hear are actually pretty good. RAM/CPU is decent, but the video card itself is lacking in horsepower but with a slimline case and only AGP 8x as an option, I'm stuck.
