That's what I thought. Brian Send a noteboard - 29/09/2010 02:54:20 AM
Pretty much the only main machine makers for desktops are these five.

HP who owns Compaq
Acer who owns Gateway
Dell
Lenovo (IBM sold their desktop/laptop line to China)
Asus (A Taiwan motherboard manufacture who is trying to become a major OEM instead of an OEM Supplier).

Out of those I'd probably only touch an HP, or Lenovo computer. The rest I'd have to pass on.

your average dell is a piece of crap. LadyLorraine - 28/09/2010 11:10:16 PM 476 Views
I restart my shitty-shit Dell four to five times a day at work. everynametaken - 29/09/2010 02:51:56 AM 460 Views
Do not buy dell *NM* Roland00 - 28/09/2010 11:18:11 PM 199 Views

I've worked at multiple companies using all Dell. They are shit. everynametaken - 29/09/2010 02:48:13 AM 446 Views

What do you do with your computer? Desktop or Laptop? *NM* Roland00 - 28/09/2010 11:18:57 PM 205 Views
Desktop. I have network access storage for work files so I don't ever use laptops. Tom - 29/09/2010 01:25:15 AM 444 Views
Okay, now what will you use the desktop for? Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:49:15 AM 458 Views
HP Pavilion Elite. ≥8GB RAM. 1TB Memory. 1GB video card. They offer about 3-4 models like that. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 28/09/2010 11:35:32 PM 203 Views
I just looked at an HP computer... Tom - 29/09/2010 01:21:25 AM 588 Views
Sigh Roland00 - 29/09/2010 02:28:38 AM 490 Views
Doesn't the US have companies that let you pick the parts and then they assemble for a small fee? *NM* Helene - 29/09/2010 06:05:09 AM 196 Views
Most of those options were only $20 - $40 more than the base options Tom - 29/09/2010 01:50:20 PM 453 Views
Here is what I would recommend Roland00 - 30/09/2010 05:36:08 PM 485 Views
It gives me an error if I try to set up that configuration. Tom - 30/09/2010 06:19:34 PM 471 Views
Don't worry about that then Roland00 - 30/09/2010 07:09:30 PM 425 Views
I would also recommend the HP Elites Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:50:31 AM 440 Views
That's what I have. Nate - 29/09/2010 06:53:10 AM 436 Views

You might like a Sony BlackAdder - 28/09/2010 11:43:56 PM 477 Views
Sony machines, especially their laptops, are vastly overpriced in my opinion. Morgawse - 28/09/2010 11:55:13 PM 441 Views
If you're looking purely at specs, yes that's true BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 04:36:52 AM 443 Views
I'm fairly sure that Sony no longer makes normal "desktops" Brian - 29/09/2010 12:58:00 AM 460 Views
Correct Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:52:17 AM 451 Views
That's what I thought. Brian - 29/09/2010 02:54:20 AM 498 Views
hmm, alright then BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 02:37:59 AM 456 Views
Yeah it bummed me out too. Brian - 29/09/2010 02:52:28 AM 459 Views
Re: Yeah it bummed me out too. BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 03:39:52 AM 520 Views
I've found Sony to be frustrating to deal with. Tom - 29/09/2010 01:26:33 AM 463 Views
Yeah they've been going downhill BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 02:42:33 AM 459 Views
HP used to be good, but I've been hearing bad things recently. Ghavrel - 29/09/2010 12:58:44 AM 464 Views
What bad things have you heard? Tom - 29/09/2010 01:27:23 AM 464 Views
HP has many models Roland00 - 29/09/2010 02:01:25 AM 531 Views

If I were going cheap on laptops I would probably go for a lenovo Roland00 - 29/09/2010 03:21:19 AM 980 Views
I had no problem running multiple programs for hours at a time. everynametaken - 29/09/2010 07:11:08 AM 495 Views
I am curious what is your model? *NM* Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:15:09 PM 206 Views
It was a C500 I believe. everynametaken - 02/10/2010 01:30:29 AM 448 Views
I like my HP better than my dell. nossy - 29/09/2010 01:14:39 AM 462 Views
Did the bad computer lick your apples? *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:23:00 AM 195 Views
No, that would be a bad thing. nossy - 29/09/2010 01:34:59 AM 438 Views
But that Dell was the bad computer. *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:37:09 AM 179 Views
Hmm. I've just made an amazingly stupid post. nossy - 29/09/2010 01:40:02 AM 438 Views
Crack is wack, yo. Stick to grass. LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:41:21 AM 420 Views
Dell sucks more dick than a gay boy at his first Pride event. LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:21:06 AM 449 Views
I liked your "like a gay for pay frat boy" euphemism better. Tom - 29/09/2010 01:28:13 AM 451 Views
Well, they can't all be hits and I try not to recycle material too often. LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:31:37 AM 421 Views
Re: Dell dick gay boy event. Gaps - 29/09/2010 02:59:38 AM 450 Views
I didn't say he'd do it well. But yes, I believe a significant quantity of pole smoking would occur. *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 03:02:38 AM 183 Views
find a HDTV that can do at least 1440 x 900 resolution moondog - 29/09/2010 02:16:30 AM 441 Views
Good advice *NM* BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 02:43:38 AM 189 Views
Anything designed by Cyberdyne Systems is the future. *NM* jiggy - 29/09/2010 09:51:56 AM 229 Views
I've heard they have problems with their customer service. *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 11:52:25 AM 194 Views
I heard the opposite. They respond quickly and effectively. *NM* Gher - 29/09/2010 03:36:03 PM 193 Views
No customer ever complains twice, eh? *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 03:36:52 PM 187 Views
Nope. Gher - 30/09/2010 03:24:23 AM 427 Views
I really don't have computer advice, b/c I bought the first cheap computer I saw. StarrBecca - 29/09/2010 12:15:11 PM 510 Views
I'd go to a local place and have them build one Floffe - 30/09/2010 08:36:31 AM 425 Views
