Buying a new computer *LOOK*
 

I get $500 (CDN) off any computer I want from the company that I work for, Im looking for a very fast and good computer allready put together, but not too expensive.

anyone know any good places to buy a computer?, are the Dell XPS computers any good?
im looking at this pc so far.

Dell Dimension XPS Series - Gen 4 Pentium® 4 Processor 650 with HT Technology (3.40GHz, 800 FSB

Memory 1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz (2x512M)

neg dell

they are very quiet though, no noise at all

Good specs but personally it looks abit expensive

build it, thats pretty much what I have but for half that price

i cant, i have to get a pc allready put together to get the $500 off

yeah, its good enough. dell is better than most others imo.

true

or get an alienware rock:

Over priced, but a good system even though it isn't an A64.

You can buy any computer and buy 30$ worth of ultra quiet fans and you have a quiet computer.

How ironic... I just spent $32 on new silent fans for my computer...

He's saying it will cost you half the price. That's more than $1150. You still worried about $500 off? oOo:

Good spec, even though if it is anal rape on the price. ed:

no

simple math 2,300 - 500 = 1,800
now you can build one for 1,100
1,800 - 1,100 = 700. Wow. if you build your own than it is still $700 cheaper than buying one from dell with $500 off. IMO dont buy a dell for that much. Build one with all those specs for a lot less.

rock: and u can get a badass case for it not some ugly ass dell shit box

maybe he cant/doesnt want to build his own.


Ggs on the selection though

i dont want to build my own

nice rig jibber, but you could save some serious cheese if you built it yourself

or save the money and buy a cannabis farm in the columbia mountain range

Prob with dell is the use their own specific parts like ram etc so if you look to upgrade in the future your fucked.

Ram? Ive yet to see a company use their own type of ram, motherboards and psu's yes but never ram. eek:

nub chav half breed

that is not true, i know a friend with an xps and he can upgrade everything stupid:

This is a laptop correct?

Edit: Nevermind, I just bought an inspiron XPS with nearly those specs for just about that price, build a custom one for a few thousand cheaper.

Take a look at this place. They have some different kinds of cases and you can have them build whatever you want.

Some of those cases look like they were designed by a blind guy randomly thrashing coloured pencils about oOo:

go to a site like ncix and choose all the parts you want and just pay them put it together for you

That computer reeks of incredibleness. Unless your a framerateophile, go get it.

I like dells.

dells generally make good pc's but customer service is aweful, and they are wayyy too overpriced (compared to building your own and getting one from your local shop)

If you dont want to build your own pc - go to your local pc repair shop - they will usually give you a nice offer + its already built. Another good thing about it is - if something goes wrong (i.e. your mobo blows) just drive to the shop for repairs and its usually done in a couple of days (or even hours). unlike dell where u have to send it back to the warehouse (which could take weeks) + pay £1 a min on phonecalls for them to come to pick it up.
