dude, desktop replacement is just a heavy notebook.

I have 2 brand new dells in the office, they work great.

I also have a brand new top end toshiba laptop, 1 Hp desktop and a Compaq Laptop.

I think we are pretty wired in this office. :)

Yea but they suck for service): Within a week of getting my last one, the processor, motherboard and power supply died and had to be replaced. After about 12 hours on the phone with the non-English speaking service techs, I was able to get a tech out 2 weeks later to fix it .

If you've ever visited Dells site and their forum for customers, you'll see the same complaint over and over......


Love it, but would never buy another for that reason...they contract their service out and that 800 # gets answered in India:mad:

apple 2. without a doubt.

I don't understand why people don't build their own computer. It saves you at least $500 or so, you get to select your own parts (instead of using generic shitty parts from vendors like Dell).

Plus, it's easy as pie building your comp, any newbie can do it.

Gotta say Ima gonna hafta agree. Ive done it since I was 9. Love my shit....

I'll probably never buy a prebuilt system again either, but you gotta admit, some people just don't have time to build their own.

Maybe it's just where I live, but I had to visit 3 different stores to get what I needed and I still had to order some stuff (like the Thermaltake case) through mail order. Every store around here just stocks the ugly almond coloured cases with shitty cooling.

Any money I probably saved by building it myself was blown on gas and time.

It is fun though.

:glugglug

i didn't mind building systems when I lived in Silicon Valley and you could buy harddrives at 7-11.....

but things are different now.

alienware really look like antec cases rebadged these days. still good though

Can u say #50!



Well fren i'll tell you now, My next PC is going to be a Mac I'm soooooooo tired of this Micosoft Shit!

:thumbsup THE BEST BAR NONE!!!

That's what their older cases were, but you musn't have seen the newer ones with the alien head thing going on. They look pretty cool.

Check em out, they don't look anything like an Antec:
