Getting a new computer... - Page 2

Alienware is okay. It costs ALOT.

www.ibuypower.com

If you don't mind getting your order in about a month, this is inexpensive and powerful stuff. I think. I haven't been there a long time, but I think it still kicks ass.

Almost forgot about that website. They make good computer including a special viper case.

If you arent planning on using your lap-top for any specific reason that requires you to have a high-end laptop, then just get a Dell or a HP. They get the job done for a relatively low price. What use is getting some high-end computer if you arent going to use it to its full potential?

Yeah, I guess Jewpin has a point...I thought you had three thousand bucks to blow and were looking for a kickass computer...

Boy, do I feel dumb for typing up that essay...

SLI.. it reminds me of VOODOO2 ROFL.
Dual CPU is also really comfortable.

If your Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Case suck, renew them first.

Just a possibility.

Maybe look into Tablet PCs? They are perfect for college students. Especially math majors (I don't know your major).

Funny... I don't know my major, either...

Although I am intrigued by anything that is considered "perfect" for college students... Care to elaborate? Or at least send me in the direction of a website?

EDIT: You people are so freaking nice. This makes me proud to be a trophy girlfriend.

I say it's perfect for college students because of the ability to take digital notes. In math, where notes have to be more than just words, drawing a picture of a graph using a stylus and being able to make it accurate are some nice features. Of course, it's better than just that. Not only is it like a PDA for writing, the screen folds back up to become a laptop if you want to use it like that. They are really neat devices.

It's ok, I understand. I would have done the same thing.

I always miss my chance to be a geek in these threads >:|

Ok, I went to all the websites you guys put on here and did the "Build-A-Comp" workshop. I pimped out accordingly, and here's the results:
AlienWare-$2833
VooDooPC (the minute I saw "luxury system" I knew it wasn't going to be cheap-$7090.42
FragBook(Falcon-Ne)-$4490
AlienWare wins!

Anticrombie0909 · 02-22-2005, 03:27 PM

You're a moron. Let's throw hundreds of different parts together and see what comes out the cheapest? On that note, why not buy a six year old dell? It's probably cheaper than everything!

I told you to gtfo and I meant it. Stop pretending you know what you're talking about.

jewpinthethird · 02-22-2005, 03:51 PM

Tablet PCs seem interesting, but I heard that they arent selling very well even though microsoft keeps pushing them. The only time I have ever seen one use was in the movie Collateral.

1. Who the fuck are you to get me out of the forum? Well, you're not a mod, so I guess, yes, I'm right, you're nobody. Nobody=no power.
2. Notice that I said "Pimped it out accordingly". Notice that by that I meant that I put parts that I wanted in my laptop. Not hundreds of parts. Parts that I wanted. Parts for gaming, taking Biology notes, and gaming in Biology.
3. I have a 6 year old Dell. That's why I want an AlienWare.
You see, having the ability to think fast may make you look smart, but when you think fast you don't think through.
4. Stretchy_Panda's price range was around $3000. I was evaluating the prices of the laptops according to what I would have put on there. She could do them herself, I was just using the relatives.
I never really liked you too much, as your username was stolen off of a tshirt from wickedjester.com, but now I view you as who ever Green Day was singing about when they made American Idiot.
You really take the cake!

I'd never heard of them, but I'm pretty sure Tablet PC is going to come out of this victorious.

o.O This thread could probably be locked to avoid more arguments among the more computer-savvy. I wouldn't cry.

QreepyBORIS · 02-22-2005, 05:23 PM

Mindfields, your name was stolen from a song by Prodigy, right? You stole your name too.

And seriously, Anti's right, you weren't even buying the same components for each PC/Laptop/Whatever. You can't seriously compare the prices when you do that, can you? Therefore, that makes both points number 2 and 4 invalid.

And YOU say ANTI has no power? Please. You joined 2 months ago.

...Okay, anyway.

My brother has a $2500 laptop from alienware, and he likes it alot. My friend has an ibuypower laptop, (I think it was also around that price), and he loves it (it can run HL2 realllly nicely,with full water effects and the lot).

I'd still go with ibuypower, though.

Anticrombie0909 · 02-22-2005, 06:14 PM

Oh, geez. Every time some script kiddie tech-wannabe tries to start a fight with me, I lol to myself and pull out the flamethrower. Well, it's been a couple weeks since I've had the pleasure of flaming a retard, I'll have fun with this. Especially since I don't think I ever got the chance of getting back at you after you whored up the forums awhile ago.

Who the $*%# are you to get me out of the forum?

Well, first of all, I've mastered the concept of multitasking. Like, eating and typing at the same time. How many days did you give up food to write that witty insight? Oh, and if you'll recall, I told everybody to gtfo, to prevent retards like you from coming in and fagging up the thread with idiotic technical advice. HEY GUYS GET THE 9200 ITS A GOOD CARD NO RRLY I CAN PLAY HALF LIFE ON IT

Oh, and I'm not fucking stupid. That's a biggie, too.

So...your computer sucks, and you still think Alienware is worth the green? Sure you should be giving out technical advice there, bud?

Quote:

Well, uh, yeah. You see, it doesn't take me hours to complete simple tasks like eating and breathing at the same time, so I probably pass out a lot less frequently than somebody of your calibur. Cry about it.

when you think fast you don't think through.

my name is grammar including commas hi there wit how are you today

just fine grammar we sure haven't seen each other in awhile huh

So wait...you put $3000 worth of parts in the Alienware, then put $7000 worth of parts in the Voodoo, and then concluded the Alienware was better. Seriously, do you even read your posts before you click submit and shitcock up the internet a little bit more?

Retard. If anything, it was stolen from the clothing line, and to be honest, when I made this name (read: over two years ago) I didn't even know it was a clothing line. And like Qreepy said, your name is stolen too. Try not to be hypocritical and a moron in the future, k?

Quote:

Go right ahead. Green Day is a fucking horrible, no talent hack band with cookie cutter riffs and the guitar skills of a first year player.
