I need a new pc

[MissTaken]

Or I want one! I am tired of this one. I have had more problems with it than I care to mention and yes, I did buy an extended warranty , but who the fuck wants to spend 12-18 hours on the phone with some tech only to be told that it will be serviced by someone sometime in the next two weeks.

End of rant...

Does anyone have any recommendations for an affordable pc that is reliable?

Or, what are your thoughts on my just buying a new hard drive-tower?

I use the pc for internet playtime, listening to music, would d/l music if the pc would allow me to and for work. (Work is short reports etc, nothing too fancy)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

may i have your old one when you get the new one?

 

[MissTaken]

Umm sure Todd!

But, you must mud wrestle my mother for it.

I just got the Emachine. Not too pricy. Around $800 without the rebates, around six hundred after you send them in.

It's pretty simple, accesible, and easy to use. I think it's an economy computer.

I've given away more PC's than I can rememebr, it's the only way some of my family would even have them. I've ogt a few older ones here that are ok for the Net, but nothing for gaming or anything like that. But woudln't know what to say about a newer PC.

Lo

I wouldn't really know about the best prices to go for this, but *gasp* I cant believe I'm actually admitting to this....I am thinking about getting me the new Imac.......

Egad man not the overpriced desk lamp!

My recommendation for ease of everything is simple www.dell.com or www.gateway.com Their customer service is still way better than Comcrap anyday. I build my own machines, but for the casual user, and what you're looking to do, $800 or less will get more than enough mahcine for you.

 

[MissTaken]

Thank you.

Silly me, walked into Office Max two years ago and said, "I want a computer." It was worse than trying to buy a car!

The hard drive was replace in month 11 and the mother board in month 13. You would think I wouldn't be in trouble with it again, but yes....I am. It is back to it's pre crash days.

Addicted? Nope! I rented a pc for the six weeks I was without one. I dare not say how much I spent on mental masturbation

You could do what I just did....pretend you know what you're doing and build one. Spend a week so frustrated that sexual frustration will begin to look good.

Honestly I just built my comp. I salvaged the still good pieces of my pc (anything less than a year old: vid card (1 month old) cdr and the old cd rom) and put together a killer comp for under 500.00. Though I wouldn't recommend it if you get as pissed at yourself as I was.

 

[BigDawg69]

Wow lady, that is exactly what I have just completed. Took my hard drives, CDRW, and floppy bought a new case, motherboard, processor, RAM, and vid card and built a new one. Screams like a champ now!

Congratulations on building your own. You are of course your own Tech Suport, so be sure to put yourself on hold when you call yourself!

 

[Lady_Sam]

Yes...but the motherboard and cpu (amd athlon 1700+ for 179.00) is warrentied for two years....if it goes poof...they'll replace it!!

 

[BigDawg69]

Ahh yes indeed, manufacturer's warrenty very important. I went with the AMD XP 1700+ as well, and a Soyo Dragon+ Via KT266 motherboard, loving it! 512mb of DDR RAM it screams!

 

[RhumbRunner13]

Puter?

How much do you want to spend?

Dell 4400 at $799 or less on line........great!

Dell 8200, 1.8 G. P IV, 40 G. HD, 256 Mb. RDRam. CD-RW, + just over $1000, but I kept my 19" monitor. Switched over from a Dell 8100 tonight.........both are sitting on the desk waiting for Intellimover!!!

Well I made sure the motherboard was upgradeable....it will take up to 3 gig of ram.....hrm maybe I should spend another 69 on ddr mem, but win 98 wont recognize anything over 256 right?

just an idea

why not take some money and head to canada and get more bang for your buck. computers should be execempt of duty. (check with the customs office first)

then you just have to get home and hook it up.
