POLL: IF YOU HAD TO BUY A PREBUILT COMP...

[GooberPHX420]

If you had to buy a prebuilt comp, Which brand would you buy and why?

 

[LuNoTiCK]

I would honestly buy dell. But you are missing many brands there. What happened to the overpriced alienware systems, and falcon-nw systems. Maybe some people would even buy mac's.

 

[Frosty3799]

dude, id be getting a dell :-\

 

[Russ]

eMachine owns!

Russ, NCNE

 

[aphex]

dell, but i LOVE that new LCD on the front of the new sonys...

Linkified

 

[GooberPHX420]

sry, forgot about those! Alienware and those dont really count, theyre fully customizeable...

 

[Amused]

Dell.

I can't believe someone voted for E-Machine

 

[Scootin159]

In my experiences, both Dell & Gateway use pretty standard parts in their systems. You obviously don't get overclocking features. Although in one Gateway system that I worked on for a friend I reconized the MB as an Asus. I then did a little more checking on it & sure enough it was the Asus A7V (KT133 MB). We then got ambitious & flashed the BIOS (using a BIOS SAVIOUR) to the Asus Bios & it worked . He now has a rebadged Asus motherboard for all intents & purposes.

I'd call up Steve and say,"I'm gettin' a Dell, dude!"

That's what the company I work at gets and they've all been great, straight out of the box.

 

[Ameesh]

who are the retards that voted compaq?

 

[Geekbabe]

if I had to buy a pre-built for some bizarre reason I'd go thru either our very own Red or Russ depending on what I needed, 3rd choice would be a Dell. I'm very picky on my computers and want only the best.

 

[FoBoT]

compaq, we have about 75,000 at work, and for all the carp some people throw at compaq, they do quite well over all

also, i bought my wife one two years ago, it hasn't had any problems (hardware wise) , so its also been a good pc

i would definetly NOT buy an HP . i helped my parents buy an HP about the same time i got my wife her compaq, and it has given them alot of trouble. the modem never worked right and HP never fixed it, their support just kept feeding B.S. to my parents and never resolved the issue

 

[b0mbrman]

Way too easy to answer...I'd get a Compaq

 

[Ryan]

look at sig

 

[Skel]

Compaq... just because I'm use to them from work...

 

[minendo]

If there was no other option I would opt for a Dell, but I would rather go computer-less.

 

[Yzzim]

Tandy!

 

[StageLeft]

Dude...

If you HAVE to get a prebuilt DELL is the only way.

 

[GooberPHX420]

<< If there was no other option I would opt for a Dell, but I would rather go computer-less. >>



ROFL no u wouldnt. Id rather have a decent prebuilt than none at all...

 

[ChinamanatNCSU]

Goober, you should have an option that's "I'd shoot myself first," because that's what I'd do if I was forced to buy a prebuilt.
Then I'd buy a dell

 

[GooberPHX420]

LOL Stfu man shoot urself first eh? perhaps Ill add that..

 

[ElFenix]

<---- voted for mac
powerbook titanium
the new ibook
the new imac

i love their industrial design

 

[RossMAN]

It depends on the type of purchase:

Home or Home Office - Dell
Work/Corporate LAN - HP Vectra's own

 

[GooberPHX420]

Looks like HP and Sony are getting shafted..

I have never had a pre-built (except for a laptop) and I never will. That is my final decision.
