Custom Built Desktop PC -- custom built from parts...
same here pete only mine is running XP professional, I think desktops are the best when you put them together your self, I spent around $350 for the core( that is the tower motherboard,ect.) and about 5-6 hours putting it all together and setting it up, best experience of my life!
but keeping to the topic, Quicky, what ever laptop/netbook you decide to persue, be sure that you do the following:
1-Know first what you really NEED, i've seen people get there 'dream' system and later find out it can't run a program cause it doesn't have a particular feature (like a 3D graphics card for example)
2-DO RESEARCH,and i mean spend and insane amount of time doing it, I can't emphisize this enough sence i've heard too many stories of how someone went and got a system and found out later that what they got was below their expectations.
3-only after 1 and 2 should you look for what extras you WANT, after all a NEED and a WANT are completely different things and a NEED should always outweight a WANT (it's a common sence thing I rarely see practiced now days, kinda sad)
the three things listed are in my view, the primary conderations that you (everyone for that matter) should follow.Statistics: Posted by T'lon Nanaki — Wed Aug 26, 2009 11:07 am
