I'll buy you one.

[Sharingan]

Hmm ereos making one gives you more options so I would recomend that. Just tell me with that budget are we looking at monitor aswell with keyboard and shit

[Ereos]

well dont have to but would be nice
though buying a good computer at that price dont seem like yea u can with monitor, keyboard, mouse

[Darksage]

well what brand/OS/processor type are you looking for?

[Sithreis]

Get a Toshiba ;)

[Sharingan]

Toshiba I think don't make pc's

[Ereos]

yea toshiba only make laptops
but once again i dont want a laptop

[Sharingan]

well tell me what u want it to do, what applications and ill tell u parts to buy

[Sithreis]

:P But they do make some of the most hardcore notebooks around. Quad Core with dual GFX cards (lol) I can't wait till they pull out a new model with RAID. But listen to Omar, building a tower is always the fastest. Only time not to build one, is if you'd prefer having a warranty ;)

[Sharingan]

... all parts have waranty..... the only down side is that you got to know if its that certain part thats not working, with a prebuild at a company you just send it off to be examined to see whats not working

[Sithreis]

Different kinds of warranty. You should know this :P Get a comp from circuit city, and they'll fix anything up for as long as you are within a warranty (I know for I have used said warranty, and as long as you don't say something stupid like "I didn't know I couldn't wash the screen" There shouldn't be a problem) Though you aren't going to get refund without meeting some harsh conditions, but say building a computer yourself, only a certain part failing you'd be able to get replaced, and even then you can't send your computer in to let certified people do it, so if you phuck up everything you're screwed. And even then, thats only hardware warranties, not software. There are some downsides to building a computer, but if you know what you're doing, and have emergency money, it shouldn't be a problem.

[Sharingan]

YOU HAVE A POINT WISE SON

[Sithreis]

Why thank you kind sir.

[Jun-Kun]

It'll require some knowledge about some computer science to build a computer. Only a tiny bit of course, not a PhD or something on it lol. Also a few hours of your patience, and sore hands. (Phucking screws)

[Ereos]

Point is
I never built one before
lol

I know, which is why I recommended Toshiba, but as you don't want a notebook, I'd say get a Dell, Gateway(blehck), or Sony< not really high powered, but pretty nice for someone that wants an efficient computer, as for being able to upgrade em in the future I wouldn't know that. But Dell is probably the smartest store bought choice. DO NOT GET HP, they will fuck you over on every part it comes with. *starts muttering to self*

Those are two that are under 1k. Hell, the Circuit City where I live has some similar models that are 100 times better.

[Sharingan]

building your own pc is like creating your own son

[Sithreis]

I couldn't agree more, but some guys just don't have the sperm count for it, and not enough money to adopt (lol)

[Sharingan]

lol then they are gay.

[Jun-Kun]

My Son is always showing the BSOD. Damn retard, should have had him adopted.

[Sithreis]

Why does it sound like regardless of topic, half the people here speak like WoW >_>

[Sedrinx]

Damn it all, I would love to have a desktop but alas lack of space in my room to place one (:[)

[Sithreis]

If you have a large budget....get a Toshiba (lol) TWO GFX CARDS QUAD CORE (:D)(:D)(:D)

[Ereos]

well i had a look at novatech seems nice

[Sithreis]

The sheer fact that I can ask "WTF kind of computer is that" Clearly shows its not worth it (lol)

[Ereos]

well anything really
enough to play starcraft 2

[Jun-Kun]

Then the ones we talked about over the phone. (:])

Let me stop you right there. Hundreds of people have made decisions on that 'just for' idealism. I could make a Venn diagram on the similarities on buying a computer 'just for' with hundreds of other choices. However, I will make these two "I slept with her just for her friend to want me | She gave me herpes (sorry) Thats one no no in life (one) "I rented this apartment just for the internet | I have been robbed twice, and properties damage has cost me hundreds" (sorry) I bet one of those robberies.....fucked with his internet (lol) These are just a few example. Now that we narrowed down #1 Why you want a computer and #2 How to buy it, we can now look maybe not as thoroughly at other aspects, but 'settling' is NOT recommended.

[Sharingan]

Ereos you can have my pc for 650...


or ill just ebay it

[Ereos]

well i dont trust ebay completely.... with that amount of cash yet

[byakugan]

i need a new comp too...ereos...buy me one on ebay for a large sum of money



but seriously...i need a new one

[Jun-Kun]

^^ Have Ereos' old one, he'll be much obliged.

[Ereos]

oh you will love it

[Sharingan]

Well if you live in uk, Ill send it to you or you can come pick it up


but yeh let me know if you want parts or if you want the pc

[Ereos]

nor the techniques

[Sithreis]

I might sell my Toshiba for about 450-500 Dunno. It has sentimental value so I doubt I'd ever sell it though.

No trust ^^

[Sharingan]

whats to trust

i been a member of this foundation you come on for around 4 years, The last person you could not trust would be me or sage or nori

[Editor]

Trusting by names or Internet friendships is a mistake.

[Sharingan]

Hah your statement is flawed :)

those that are lucky enough to have such friends are one out of a million,

and theres like 5 of them in this forum, so you must be very lucky.

[semie-kun]

i also need a new laptop..to finish my thesis..

Let it be known that I wasn't afraid to ask if I was one of those trusted people. lol

[byakugan]

i been a member of this foundation you come on for around 4 years,

foundation...i like that

[Ereos]

well Omar probably wants cash out of it...
you got an ebay acc?
btw
speaking about this?
do you have to pay to put something up to sell items??
there must be a fee for it

[Sharingan]

I don't got a sellers accout but I could make one. Also it does cost you when you want to sell something.

[Ereos]

say i want the average gaming computer what would you say?
i dont want no uber pc cos i dont have the cash

[Sithreis]

1.2-1.8k No less, but more is definently possible.

[Jun-Kun]

1.2-1.8k No less, but more is definently possible.

Around £810 -£1080. Seems reasonable. You can go less than that. £600 - £800 for a decent mid-ranged.

[Sharingan]

i have a mid range, but with quality case and cooler

[ChiibiKouta]

Gaming computer?
or u r more of a video freak.. u want a decent one or a high end one

i personally recommend

IP45 Biostar <- with this OC is as easy as ABC
E8400 (EO) <- get the one with this batch code
1GBX2 Corsair Dominator
500GB HDD they are cheap nowadays
PALIT HD4870<- Dual slot Dual fan heatpipe cooler.. good GC but u wont be able to crossfire but its a good gc
PSU : Mushkin 580w <- trust me its more than enough
and the new thermaltake case i cant remember the name quite cheap
for the cooler u have two choice both are cheap and good quality stuff

1.Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer <- not too catchy but performs very well!
2.Deepcool Killer Whale <- looks good n same performance as sunbeam CCF

[Shunrai]

i new a new laptop

[ChiibiKouta]

or use ur money to donate to OW (clap)

[Shunrai]

yes get to donating to ow do it now!!!
