Still Looking for that Special Something

Posted by SquareWheel on Nov. 19, 2007, 2:36 a.m.

Yes, I'm still looking for that special computer. I've never been a hardware person, so reading over parts and how much they cost is really quite befuddling. (Yes, I said befuddling.) Honestly, I'm supposed to be buying accelerators for parts I've never heard of. Spend 20 bucks on "Professional Wiring"? Come on, do you wire your computers shitty on purpose just so people can spend more money?

I found this one PC at Newegg, it seems pretty good.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883107499

The price (before tax I assume) was $1,930. The most I want to spend it 2 grand. Most people are telling me to build it myself, but honestly, if I can't tell Double-Data-Rate 2 (DDR) from Dance Dance Revolution, how can I build myself a computer?

If you guys could tell me what you think of the computer from Newegg, or any recommendations, please post them. I'm looking for a computer that can play games, yet have many apps open at once. That means iTunes, Firefox, Gamemaker, MSN, and Jumper 2. If this is asking too much, I'll close Jumper. =/

If you didn't read my previous blog, this is Cookinater. I changed my name to go with my site.

Bye.

Hmm, I really don't want to build my computer, so I can sympethise.

However, damn you and your 2k budget! If I had that much to spend…

I built a good bit of my computer.

This is why there is a huge hole in the front where you can insert a floppy disk. You have to do it… just right.

@ChIkEn: Yes, yes I do.

@foslock: Mmmmmkay, I need your email for that though.

@killpill28: I looked at Alienware, I couldn't pay for a nice computer with my car.

@phazon yoshi: Years of savings from being cheap.

@hogofwar: As long as government regulations allow.

@JoshDreamland: Floppy drives are now obsolete.

Right, so do you guys think this is a good deal?
