For the first time, since i started with my sinclair zx81, im thinking to buy a pc.. In the past i never bought a complete system. I bought the pieces and set it together.I think thats the best way to learn about a pc and his system. But now i am a little busy in work and my pc is at grown age. What you guys think of alienware or dell ? Alienware is very high in price. Some say dell is good, some say they have only problems with dell pc's. What do you mean, guys ?

build your ownits not very hard (expecially if everything works)lots of ppl who can help you (ive built like 6 pc's or so myslef )not very hard jsut take your time like anythign else

check all vendors before you settle on any one choice shop around.

If you decide to buy your own vs building it, I suggest iBuyPower... good prices

Build your own! Dell and Gateway and other manufacturers make their PCs so that they're more difficult or impossible for users to upgrade. Just get and Athlon XP. A lot cheaper than P4, but still with good performance.

Build your own. I should know. I have built over 200 in the last 4 years.

 

www.newegg.com really is the best out there if you live in the States.

hey mac, can you build me an alienware Aurora Extreme =P ill send you over a few bucks for shipping if ya like =D

Build your own. You'll get the best of your computer with this way.

I think the best way now is a build again my own pc. I have done it before and beside the problem i have not much time rigt now (need time for playing, hehheh), its the best way. Then when you buy a pc you must to make compromises and thats not what i like. Like in the years before, you set up a new pc: its always interesting when he is starting for the first time: will i have a heart attack or will i say: YEAH, IT WORKS..

Build you own is the best way.IF you buy from Dell they have nice computers and a VERY good tech support. But they also add alot of things that you don't need, just adds to price. Plus, you get very few options to choose from: Intagrated Graphics, Radeon 9800 Pro, Radeon 9800 All-in-Wonder. And for me I can't really get top of the line, so I pick like the the next step down.Companies like Alienware are not a bad choice. You get to choose every part, and you don't get extra stuff. And I don't believe that the tech support is to good. Overall, build one. It isn't like you have to build the whole thing in one day. Make it more of a, "Ya, I get to put the floppy drive in tonight!"
