devobitch Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 BUILD YOUR OWN its the best way to go you get what you want and only that try www.pricewatch.com there are very easy to build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted April 15, 2002 Veteran Share Posted April 15, 2002 why not build it yourself? You can salvage some parts from your old machine into the new one, get what you want, and save some money in the process. Check prices on www.pricewatch.com and head to local computer shows for the lowest prices on stuff, and be sure to read reviews on what to get and ask questions here if you need to. Building a computer is a fun project if you put a lot of research into it. Hope it comes out nice for ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0sit0 Posted April 15, 2002 Author Share Posted April 15, 2002 thanks for the page, and i think is a little difficult to me to build a PC :ponder: :paranoid: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apa1exakis Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 hey man, I just recently bought a computer at www.suzukiproductions.com you can either buy one of their computers or do what i did. email them and tell them what you want. They can build you pretty much anything you want. and can get you everything in black or white ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Otto Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 i would go for ur own computer but if u dont have the experience or dont want to build ur own, get a dell...best tech support, good quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayrider Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 if ur a n00b (no offence) go with Dell, as much as people talk down on them, ive owned 2 of them and theyre both still running perfect tech support is great and u get a 3yr warranty and depending where u live, u get 3 free monhts of high speed internet if ur supplier is supported... advice: if buying from dell, compaq, gateway etc. format and get rid of all the junk they put on there ie AOL, stupid mp3 players video players etc and reinstall ur OS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louiskhorweiwu Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 Atlas www.buy-atlas.com is good, and cheap, but not that customisable ABS, www.buyabs.com is the same Nutrend www.nutrend.com is great, but if you get a fully customised system you get not support whatsoever. I've bought from Atlas, great value, not real problems, support isn't a horrible as people say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
