You really should just stop using Dell as your example LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 03/05/2011 10:51:10 PM
It kind of makes me want to punch you, just because I'm starting to associate you with Dell

New PC: to build or not to build LadyLorraine - 02/05/2011 04:16:46 PM 1019 Views
The advantages of building your own computer seem to be smaller these days. lord-of-shadow - 02/05/2011 05:19:09 PM 796 Views
I take satisfaction in tinkering with computers... LadyLorraine - 02/05/2011 06:40:12 PM 1119 Views
Also, one of the big savings for building your own computer... lord-of-shadow - 02/05/2011 07:27:37 PM 788 Views
yah that's part of the problem. I don't have a desktop right now. Not even a case LadyLorraine - 02/05/2011 07:37:45 PM 778 Views
It's not hard at all anymore. Link for Lorraine, too Jragghen - 02/05/2011 09:32:48 PM 910 Views
I always buy Intel. Papa works there LadyLorraine - 02/05/2011 09:39:00 PM 852 Views
Huh, small world. What site? Jragghen - 02/05/2011 10:36:55 PM 989 Views
I have no idea what the name of his site is. Probably not that one LadyLorraine - 03/05/2011 01:50:38 AM 744 Views
small world or large company? *NM* Foxhead - 03/05/2011 10:48:11 AM 433 Views
Both? *NM* Bergioyn - 03/05/2011 02:35:57 PM 391 Views
I don't know about you... Fox and Ravens - 02/05/2011 08:21:41 PM 818 Views
And you would have been getting a Dell. *NM* Ghavrel - 03/05/2011 03:27:44 AM 435 Views
Truth *NM* Fox and Ravens - 03/05/2011 04:38:36 AM 414 Views
Just get a pre-made and add a few components (ie: graphics card) to make you feel like you built it. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 02/05/2011 08:53:07 PM 390 Views
Build it. Aemon - 03/05/2011 02:54:12 PM 948 Views

How? Aemon - 03/05/2011 05:04:27 PM 731 Views
Re: How? lord-of-shadow - 03/05/2011 06:47:56 PM 745 Views
Wow, I never heard about that. Aemon - 03/05/2011 07:10:07 PM 810 Views
Nah, it was years ago. The one you gave me advice for was the replacement of the replacement, hah lord-of-shadow - 03/05/2011 07:41:24 PM 728 Views
Yeah, I meant the power supply of the problem machine. Aemon - 03/05/2011 08:10:04 PM 796 Views
Ah. yeah, it was one of the pieces that got replaced. It was probably at least partially responsible *NM* lord-of-shadow - 03/05/2011 08:12:50 PM 431 Views
I like how you seem to think I'd buy a Dell LadyLorraine - 03/05/2011 04:17:58 PM 778 Views
lol, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. Aemon - 03/05/2011 04:37:18 PM 807 Views
At this point, I'm looking at building thanks to papa LadyLorraine - 03/05/2011 04:59:07 PM 780 Views
If you like tinkering, then build one. Quality control is all on you, but it's "yours" then. Zalis - 03/05/2011 03:00:21 PM 744 Views
#1 reason to build your own: no pre-loaded bloatware. *NM* Macharius - 03/05/2011 04:52:45 PM 414 Views
It's a plus, but I'm not sure about #1. Aemon - 03/05/2011 05:26:29 PM 764 Views
Re: It's a plus, but I'm not sure about #1. Macharius - 04/05/2011 02:14:20 PM 744 Views
Or just format when you get it. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 03/05/2011 06:48:47 PM 398 Views
With a pre-built you can't often do that. Aemon - 03/05/2011 07:19:28 PM 785 Views
for the record, sometimes stores will remove the bloatware for you LadyLorraine - 03/05/2011 07:28:58 PM 710 Views
They say they do. Aemon - 03/05/2011 07:46:19 PM 755 Views
Do prebuilts come without OS discs these days? That's bullshit. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 03/05/2011 07:43:39 PM 417 Views
Yah, they don't. LadyLorraine - 03/05/2011 07:47:36 PM 745 Views
Well, it's understandable, just annoying. Aemon - 03/05/2011 08:05:00 PM 733 Views
You really should just stop using Dell as your example LadyLorraine - 03/05/2011 10:51:10 PM 732 Views
Oh, hush. Aemon - 04/05/2011 12:50:15 AM 901 Views
YOU SHALL NOT MALIGN THE HP!!! LadyLorraine - 04/05/2011 10:16:50 AM 753 Views
Re: YOU SHALL NOT MALIGN THE HP!!! Aemon - 04/05/2011 04:55:49 PM 808 Views
huh. fair enough! *NM* LadyLorraine - 04/05/2011 05:43:19 PM 364 Views
My anecdotal evidence has HP failures being rare but spectacular. Ghavrel - 04/05/2011 08:19:52 PM 756 Views
I had a Compaq laptop (built after HP had bought Compaq). Aemon - 04/05/2011 09:13:54 PM 730 Views
Huh. I have a Compaq too. It shipped with bad RAM, but once I fixed that it's worked like a charm. Ghavrel - 05/05/2011 12:43:48 AM 733 Views
Yes, almost without exception. Aemon - 03/05/2011 07:58:32 PM 881 Views
I think build your own L0gan - 17/05/2011 07:55:30 PM 1099 Views
Have you made your decision yet? Two Wongs - 28/05/2011 02:19:36 AM 886 Views
I'm going to be building one with my dad LadyLorraine - 01/06/2011 02:42:35 AM 684 Views
