October 7, 200618 yr I suggest to wait a little longer and spend a possible $1200. If you guys need help building pc's, good ones at low prices. Shout at me. I dont want you guys getting ripped off by Dell or HP. Yes, Dell/HP rages me.
October 7, 200618 yr Myriad said: Yes, Dell/HP rages me. same here dood, I fix computers as a side job, Dell and HP use the shittiest parts.
October 8, 200618 yr We agree. Thats good, cuz I can go on all day about those shits. Btw, if you want to buy a computer, real cheap too. http://www.NCIX.com (This link is not gabenewell.com rifk)
October 8, 200618 yr They piss me off to because Im stuck with an HP. It works well enough though I guess.
October 10, 200618 yr Author Thanks Myriad, things have kinda changed, so I think I can probably spend more. I WAS gonna sell my PC here and use the money to buy a PC when I move back to USA, but I think me and my brother decided to make a 'deal' kinda thing with my grandma where I give him the PC and she buys me a new one there...so maybe I can exceed $750...I'll give you a shout in a few days or so m8. Thanks for the help, great post ;)

October 11, 200618 yr Instead of making a lame post, why not explain why its better. btw : directcanada.com has 1/2 the parts and you cant request any new ones. Fail.
October 11, 200618 yr Quote sideways;390137']same here dood' date=' I fix computers as a side job, Dell and HP use the shittiest parts.[/quote'] Yes your right, I have a dell and it...FUCKING SUCKS COCK K? I need a new computer.
October 12, 200618 yr i have a dell xps laptop (m1710) and its power adapter died, one day I plugged it in and it started beeping and the little green light didn't light up. I had to get another one. However they did express ship it to me, I ordered it after midnight monday and I got it wednesday at around 2 p.m. the computer however is has worked fine so far :sly:
October 12, 200618 yr Notebooks are different. When have you seen a custom built notebook? I've seen one, but that thing was junky. Notebooks are junk anyway, no power for gaming.

" On the inside it houses the 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo processor, up to 4GB of RAM and the icing on the cake -- the latest and greatest nVidia Go 7900 GTX graphics card with 512MB of memory." thats whats inside mine, minus 2gb of ram... it's not bad for gaming at all.
October 14, 200618 yr Myriad said: HDR? No. I can play the DoD:S and cs:s with HDR enabled and maintain good frames...
October 14, 200618 yr Wait until DX10. You'll be wasting money that you could use for Vista and some components. Besides, you can overclock a Conroe E6600 to past the X6800 with the stock cooler. You'll get better performance for a third of the price. :)
October 14, 200618 yr why do you need that gay fan why dont you get one from wallmart? They are nice! :naughtyd:
October 15, 200618 yr Everything there seems good. However I would suggest getting a smaller yet faster HDD(10k rpm). Just put your old disks into this computer if you need alot of space. Too bad its so expensive...
October 17, 200618 yr I've got two 74gb 10krpm Western D's in my pc running raid stripe. Fast as hell. Even only 1 would be nice though. Thats not much hdd space, so I put all my older hd's in the pc. Makes for a nice amount. All that other stuff is fine, you'll enjoy the PCI-E if ya never had it before.
