I don't know if Dell are the same overseas are they are in Australia, but here, Dell's suck. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too over-priced, held up with crap (usually the equivelant of Compaq crap) and usually, you can't fix them yourself, unless you have some kind of degree in fuzzy logic.
I reckon desktop's are better than notebooks too. I'd highly recommend revising exactly why you want a notebook and seeing if it is really worth it too.
lolz more handheld? even tho its more or less gonna be at home... :P... i dunnoz.... see alien desktops are nice and all but they don't have a monitor, keyboard and mouse!....
i dunno dells computer just seem cheap...
still looking at different computers
so far i looked at
alienware
gateway
dell
sony
alienware is so expensive the others are in hundreds to thousands.... but alienware is nice but it doesnt come w/ monitor, mouse or keyboard! and itself it already cost like $2000 for a nice one... :P
I'd definitely build the thing myself if I was you, it is a WHOOOOOLE lot cheaper than buying it with an overpriced brand name like Dell, Sony, etc.
Come on man, I've built 3 computers so far and I turned 15 this past October! You can do it!Quote:
lol no skilled at building one...
onli 14!!!!
lol.. dunno all da parts... sooo... not going to try...
still want a notebook parents wont get me one...
say: too much errors, no use... already have a computer... we will get you a new one when your brother goes off to college in the summer lol
If you don't feel up to it.... :unsure: .....you should do like neevakee said and buy it off of Ebay.com, or use Pricewatch.com to buy a complete system (Or BUILD it :D )
heheh.... hmmm.... lol.... i dunt trust ebay... priceway seems confusing... im goign to check out newegg... lol... :P....
i mentioned this in one of your other posts.... What is your budget, what do u want it do to? if you shop around and build it yourself you will save a bundle and you'll also have some experience for when you want to upgrade. Its not hard to build one, just grab a "How to build a PC" guide from gamespot and if you have any problems/questions than were right here with ya
ummm budget is probably less then 2000 around 1500 i think.... im not exactly sure.... its a personal computer... so im going to use it for gaming mostly...
yea pricewatch is a bit confusing, but I've found the prices to be lower than newegg.
ok well I just quickly looked stuff up at Newegg.com so prices are american:
Epox 8RDA+ - $108
AMD ATHLON XP 2800 Barton - $367
Western Digital 80bg hard drive 7200rpm - $92
KINGSTON 512MB pc2700DDR ram - $59.50
Sapphire ATI RADEON 9700 Atlantis PRO 128MB - $309
MSI CD-ROM 52X - $17
Any floppy drive - $5
and you could probably get yourself a neat case with a 350PSU for around $60
That adds upto $1017.50, youll have to add that tax on, cause i am from canada and dont know what American tax is. That would a pretty nice computer for gaming in my opinion for the budget you have. This does not include monitor/keyboard/mouse/speakers, assuming you have those already.
One thing about the Epox motherboard that is a good board for overclocking, if your not planning on overclocking I'd suggest eitehr sticking with that one or going with any other Nforce2 based motherboards.
intrestin.... where would i find a shell..... does all shells work if you make one yourself? since i can copy alienware's format :P... i hope it includes everything
can someone tell me if all parts are there when you buy alienware computer...
