Siders77 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Oh and by the way, I managed to finally decipher your post. How was I supposed to know what you already had? I don't know what you can use from your old PC do I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emery Posted January 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 i know but i said just a tower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 You also said "Other Stuff" When you said a tower I knew what you meant but when you said other stuff I thought you might want a keyboard and stuff.. Meh, I was going to help you. Now I'm not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Oh Emery you gay little f**king twat of a toss pot, your talking to now 2 very f**king good pc moders and tec guys. Show some f**king respect or don't bother asking what so ever.Tower, you mean a base unit with all the gubbing in there not just a tower ie tower case as thats what tower means.You'd get a dam good spec for £400, you'd need to do all in bits to get a decent spec. Amd is a must for gaming how ever i hate them i'm an intel manAbit, DFI are two good mobo's to have500w and above psu is a mustPCI-e for you gfx card again for a gamer mustLeast 1GB of memory PC4000+ if not 2 is what real gamers go for.Get on some pc forums dude but you'd better be more respect full there cos they will just point laugh and ban your ip there and then dude. You can get even better spec buying 2nd hand. One thing you may have already or will defo need is Windows XP, and a product key, new looking at £80/90 Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 I brought the stuff for my new computer here. They do some pretty cool cases, if your going for style.I've fired mine up with a see through panel on my case, replaced the belt wires, and chucked in a few neons.(New motherboard, HD, graphics card, PSU and DVD writer also)Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 well dell under-tune their computers, so that they are a lot more reliable. by this i mean a computer has it's limits before it will start over heating, or failing in any way, so dell find this point, and then make sure the computer never reaches this point, this ensured that they will have very few complaints but it also means a lack in performance. and Dell pc's never have been any good for gaming, for 400 pounds you could get a fairly good computer if you get the parts seperatley. i suggest you go with AMD processors as they are a lot easier to change and upgrade. also i'd go for an ATI graphics card, but the N-videa ones are just as good but i prefere the Radions.If you don't have a clue how to put the components together, i'd get This pc (base unit)and with the spare money get This (extra R.A.M)And if you have any problem fitting the RAM i'll show you, i'll take pictures of mine for you.And when you have 70 spare I'd get Thisi'll show you how to fit that too if you like.Mike!!!

GlynnP Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Hey if you are looking for a reliable computer then u should save your money and get a imac.viruses = no ( not liek on a windows any ways)crashing = nobetter video editing = yesbetter graphics = yesspace saving = yes ( why have a base unit when all you need is a screen )windows = mac = but if you are looking for somthing easy to use no need to learn a new operating system then stay with windows you will find it cheaper and easier to get programes. thats if u r fine with virsues and crashing computers and annoying people on the end of the phone if you ring with a problem.

Siders77 Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 (edited) Have you ever used a PC for more than an hour? I admit I've only used a Mac for a few minutes but f**k about. thats if u r fine with virsues and crashing computers and annoying people on the end of the phone if you ring with a problem. You don't half talk some shit. I've used PC's for years and I've only had one problem with my Pc and that was my first proper build and it was the RAM that was faulty. I've NEVER had a problem with virii(Is that right?!) Just get a good Anti-Virus and you're fine. Yeah, it is more software but it's hardly any! When I had to speak to Microsoft they were very helpful, they weren't annoying or anything. They helped me and I was off the phone within 5 minutes because they knew exactly what I needed to do. PC's are not shit! Edited January 10, 2006 by Siders77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai the Socket Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 PC's are not shit!Nah I agree with that. Certain PC specs are good. But if they run windows, in my opinion, it's just pointless.Anyway. We've got a massive topic in members to discuss that Siders.

Jason Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 PC's are not shit!Also if you want to expand your PC when it goes out of date, or when new hardware is available you can. However imacs are a bit more complicated and if you've ever seen inside one of those flat screen ones, you'll understand how expanding may become a problem...Jason.

And yes i'm sure.Mike!!!Edit: back to the pc, go for sidder's pc, but if you can't afford the extra, i'd leave out the sound card, you can just use the one on the mobo Edited January 10, 2006 by mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
