WHy do you guys buy computers from dell and other companies, the best computer is when you build it yourself, part by part...just like mine
 
Building it aint that tough, it just gets annoying when things dont work and you dont know why!

But i will never ever buy a PC from a retailer again, save loads if you build it yourself
 
Yup, you save a buck-load o money
btw, heres my specs

P4 1.6Ghz
Hercules 3D Prophet FDX 8500 LE 64mb
Hercules Gamesurround Fortissimo II
768mb DDRAM PCI2700
80+120Gb 7200rpm 2mb cache
PlexWriter 40/12/40A
and a bunch of stuff I forgot....:)
 
I have never bought a system in my life. Why should I buy one now?
 
Because you'll get thrown in jail sooner or later if you keep on stealing them.:)
 
I prefer buying it.

1. Because I'm worried I'll do something wrong and it will melt.
2. Because I haven't got a clue what kind of cooling I'll need.
3. With a company I know what I'm getting, for what price and if it ever breaks I'll get it replaced :)

A true Nerd would love linux
As far as I can tell you are not a nerd!

It goes up to this temperature..i was just wondering whats your CPU temperature..

Thats actually a similar spec to mine. Only i have windows 2000, and the AMD equivalent of your CPU. Oh and the monitor is 19 inch.


You know building your own computer really isn't that difficult. Everything has its own slot and to be safe you can just buy anti static things to stop you blowing it up when you are putting it together. The installation of things is pretty straight forward too. All you need to do is get someone to help you the first time and then after that its simple.


EDIT: Having said that i am buying my next computer "ready made" because im getting a better deal than buying it seperately (legally that is) Its going to cost about £400 more that putting it together myself but i will get great discounts on upgrades, even free upgrades with certain parts. Not only that but evesham (the company im getting it from) have a kind of partnership deal with the buisness my mum and dad work with. Which measn they will get paid for me buying the computer, which in turn means they will put something towards me buying it. I can also customize what im getting so long as i dont downgrade the product they want to sell me. Which is nice. Its also all in black :)
 
Yeah if you build it chicks will want to see it!(the computer)
If you buy it you dont get anything!(no free food that the chicks will bring over when they look at your computer)
