i was looking at new systems online and came up with a few here, i was wondering if these are worth the money and which one is best price/badass ratio

Sergeant_Scrotum · 02-26-2003, 07:29 AM

a $900 sound system?! ed:

Sergeant_Scrotum · 02-26-2003, 07:31 AM

(damn edit button) never mind i read that wrong)

Bazooka_Joe · 02-26-2003, 11:36 AM

The fourth one. The first three come with ATA-133 RAID controllers, but all have an ATA-100 HD, so your basically getting an ATA-133 connector for nothing.

thanks joe. one more thing, whats oem stand for?

Cpt. Obvious · 02-26-2003, 10:06 PM

The Voodoo Monsoon is the best gaming computer out there but it has a price tag of $4000 dollars. Save Up

OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer

cameltoe · 02-26-2003, 10:52 PM

does that mean it just comes cheaper?

It means a number of things.

1) Standalone part - no original package, Warranty papers, instructions, cables, drivers etc.

2) Has downgraded parts, meaning lower performance.

Try never to buy OEM.

Old Reliable · 02-27-2003, 12:44 AM

there is nothing wrong with OEM

cameltoe · 02-27-2003, 01:36 AM

yea i was wondering why the things came so cheap.. hmm i think ill see how much it would cost to buy a similar system with individual parts

NOT ALWAYS TRUE. OEM parts can be the same spec as retail parts. You've got to be smart about it and know what to look for. Also, I dunno how big a difference there is between ATA100 and ATA133. That Mobo comes with a SerialATA controller, meaning eventually you could run Serial ATA (much faster than ATA133) without any changes.

oh ur Bleuachdu! man i just know you by the guy with the freaky ass sig
