computer hookup?

[ShooterMcGavin]

my pc just took a dump on itself after a solid 7+ yrs. does anyone have a hookup on a new computer? if not i guess i'll be gettin a dell.

[Crazy Asian]

Atif I think not sure his name sells comp. He's a sponsor here

[Sol-Badguy]

Say no to Dell!

[ShooterMcGavin]

why what's wrong w/a dell?

[Lucky DAWG]

yea dell's suck

hp's or macs ftw

[ShooterMcGavin]

fuck an hp, hp = huge problems

[Lucky DAWG]

fuck an hp, hp = huge problems

then your only options are death or a mac

[Kyle]

mac ftw

[Bishop]

ive owned 2 hp's. A desktop all through high school and now a hp laptop ive had for 2 years. Never had aproblem with one.

i own one right now as well, zero problems

when i get a laptop for college this summer, its gonna be between mac and hp based on how the new mac OS turns out.

pretty sure mac is gonna win out on this decision for me

[quickdodge®]

why what's wrong w/a dell?

Nothing. Unless you don't like good computers. Later, QD.

[CALIWEST]

just build one...depends on wat u want to do with the comp will depend on how much your going to spend..

[Doppelgänger]

i work on both dell and hp desktops and laptops. I dont see much of one having more problems then the other. Then again , i work with business computers. I have several models that i prefer and have built nicely and work great. pm me. im using a HP NX7000 to write this message, but i also have a Dell laptop thats pretty damn nice too. It's personal preference.....

[ShooterMcGavin]

just need it for watching movies, running itunes, checking email. really don't game much anymore...

[THEONE]

my dell is a pile of crap. it works like a dream when it feels like it. save yourself the aggrivation.buy a hp or if your made of money get a mac ;)

[Revmaynard]

Dell doesn't hurt if you get the right stuff, just my :2cents:.

[CALIWEST]

u can make a comp for ur average use for 350-450

[Jecht]

I'd go with a HP as well. I personally find them about the same build quality as a Mac.

[ShooterMcGavin]

werd, i might just wait til they have another sweet sale so i can pick up something around $500 that comes w/windows vista...

[sirkus]

Get a dell.. just don't get Vista... It sucks complete ass. Wait a few years for programs to be designed for it.

Or build your own for cheaper. It's easier to build a computer than anyone thinks.

[ShooterMcGavin]

what's wrong w/vista? :thinking:

and yeah i know it's easy but i'm just lazy, i built this last one.

[Hundo®]

unless you plan on surfing the internet and thats it, dont get a mac.

BUILD YOUR OWN PC. or Fry's Electronics in Marietta or Alpharetta. best deals.

[DaX]

LoL, I thought this thread was going to be about "hooking up" with someone through the computer.

I have a Dell Laptop and have had zero issues from it for nearly 3 years. My Dell desktop has been running strong for 2+ years.

For my next desktop, I'm going to build my own from New Egg.

[Nemesis]

I picked up an HP yesterday. Intel Core 2 Duo 6400, 2GB DDR RAM, 400GB HD SATA 7200RPM. I LOVE IT

[2.0civic]

theres nothing wrong with HP but definately hit up Atif...hes got good computers

[ShooterMcGavin]

how much jorge?

[EvasiveEF9]

My buddy built mine for me for about 5. That included case and everything. I don't remember all the specs, but it was like 512ddr2, 3.2ghz, about 200gb hd, uhhh...yeah, that's all I remember, LoL, but ther'es more in there. Just build one. Microcenter ftw.

[Flip]

PM'd...

[CALIWEST]

i made all my computers...but then again mine are not the average comps...all are gamers...

Newegg is awesome - ive been buying/building from them for almost two years

u can't buy a new dell without vista... i work tech suppt for dental software.. and we've told all our users not to get vista till windows works out the bugs...

next thing we know they've got a new computer with vista..

why?? because windows has a contract with dell... and other companies as well that any new computer they sell has to have vista on it....

[ShooterMcGavin]

^^^might wanna check your info homie, a lot of computers that dell sells can still come with windows media center edition on it...

[Killer]

i work with thousands of offices and i get these calls each day... no lie..

if that's not the case then some one is scamming our offices...



the people i work with half the time are pretty dumb and comp illiterate... they aren't gonna be smart enough to just make up stories.

[JennB]

I was just on their site... the XPS's like I have still come with XP, as do a few others. It's an option on almost all of their small business computers as well.

[Killer]

hmmm i'm gonna make a call to dell then...

i hate working with retarded dr.s and assistants.. especially on a new o.s.

[JennB]

I wouldn't put Vista on my computer right now if you paid me.

[AtifSajid]

Compaq D50(i think)
P4 2.4/512/40gb/xp home/cdrw

Ready to go. Grade A condition $275. Let me know I got about 5 of them.

ooooo i stand corrected... i just called dell and asked myself.. and u can get xp still...


no lie i've had atleast 10 offices tell me this within the last month...

oh no you don't, on your knees knave! :slap: :D

[ironchef]

I wouldn't put Vista on my computer right now if you paid me.Why is that? Have you actually used it for more than 5 minutes to make a fair assumption? I've been running it for a couple of weeks now, 0 problems. Works as fast if not faster than XP, sure it uses more memory but I have 2 gigs anyway, so I don't really notice. A lot of people that downtalk Vista, I've noticed, haven't really used it.

Try to watch a HD movie on it. :gay:

[JennB]

I've played around with it a little. I'm happy with XP, no reason to change right now. And I'm a patient person, an OS is not something I feel I need to have immediately. Once the bugs I've heard about have been ironed out and it's been out for a while, I may get it on my home computer. My work computer is #1, not my decision and #2, has far too much important company information to mess around with. Not that it wouldn't be secure, but if it did have a bug, being down or having problems would make a big mess for us. Seeing as we are a software company, I'm sure we'll get it sooner or later when IT thinks it's ready.

[ironchef]

[Jecht]

I have 0 problems.
Hmm. Maybe you don't notice how much it degrades the quality of the video. Windows Vista purposely resizes it to a lower resolution in order to deter people from ripping the video. :(

[CALIWEST]

amd 64 fx2 processor on all 3 comps...1 comp has an amd 64 fx2...and my boo boo comp is just using a 3.2ghz intel chip.
no need to go into further detail if u know what processor i have
GAMERZ FO LIFE MAN~!!!

[CALIWEST]

as far as vista goes...i have one comp with vista...0 problems although still has kinks that need to be worked out...but overall maybe next year should be fine

you are a dumbass

why would mac only be good at surfing the net... :blah:

mac has the best media editing software out there come on now... garage band is one sick music editing program that comes with it.

plus you can create another partition and put windows on it if they have games or software you want to run that mac does not support.

mac is a way more powerful system and doesn't have big brother watching your every move like microsoft.

[CALIWEST]

just use linux

[Congogrey]

I would either go with an Apple PowerBook or Dell. The new rugged Dell's (Latitude ATG) are the shit.

Last time i checked you couldn't install a version of Windows on a Mac computer. The processor's infrastructure is a bit different.

[AtifSajid]

I got a bunch of Dell, IBM, Compaq desktops all under the price range of $350 and they are from P3 900mhz all the way up to P4 2.8's. All different configurations. Can be custom made, parts added whatever you want.

Of course price will change accordingly.

[ShooterMcGavin]

[ShooterMcGavin]
