I need a New computer because my computer just deciced to not turn on as of yesterday.(I'm on a school computer right now) So I'm starting this thread to see if anyone out there can give me some advice on what kind of computer I should get.
Prolly an alienware if your parents think you're old enough to get one.
Maybe a powerbook; thinking of saving for one myself.

makes mean absolutly **** all, get a good gfx card, processor and mem
What he said. :cool:
I heard bad things about Alienware anyway, so I wouldn't go with them.
Get a quad processor motherboard with 4 amds, 4gb of ram, and a professional $10000+ graphics card. If its in your price range.
How about you pay $50 to get your old one repaired?
Alien Ware, it is DESIGNED for gaming, and That dell thing thats adveritzed on TV any of the 2
I'd just recommend building your computer and buying all that you require. Therefore, you can have your computer to your preference and it'd be a lot cheaper IMO.
Homebuilt is the best IMO. Gather your parts from [url]www.newegg.com[/url] and google how to build a computer. :)
Do serious reseach before you buy your computer if building yourself!!!! give yourself a budget, find out how much everything costs and mix and match parts untill u have everything you want for your budget. Decide on Intel or AMD early, everything else then becomes easier to research. Start looking for mobo's in your price range, compare them and find the best one for you. Do you need 4 firewire ports? Do you need inbuilt graphics or a AGP 8x slot, or PCI express? Once you have chossen your mobo start looking for other things. Add CPU and RAM and Video card, they make up the bulk of the price. Add DVD burners/players etc. Chose your HDD size, read some DIY computer building. Choose a case. Now get your system built on paper, double check everything is compadible and somthing expensive isnt going to bottleneck the system (eg dont buy a celeron prossor for gamming). Once you have everything written down buy everything and put it together. Make sure you learn how to format and install your OS. Familerize yourself with the bios as well, somtimes things have to be enabled (eg extra USB ports) or tweaked (CPU overcloking mabie?).
Get parts off of newegg like i did.
Otherwise, just go with a nice Dell or Alienware.
Does anyone know of a good gaming laptop? Preferably one that is available in Australia. I have a Dell Inspiron 8200 which runs games okay, but its getting a bit old and I was wondering if anyone knew of a better one...
Well it's four mounths later and I got a new comp it sucks but it will do for now.
I have decided on building my own with parts from newegg. Funny thing is that I can build a $5000 alienware for$1200 pretty funny ain't it?
Thanks for all your help.
Ha my parents!!!! Are you friggen kidding me?....wow your hilarious. I'm 15 and I work at Mcdonallds for 6.05 an hour....The funny part? My parents friggen hate me.I'm paying for the internet,paid for the comp I'm on now and, anything in the house that might fall under the catagory of new...I bought.
Dude this one's coming outta my pocket not theirs.
Hells no I'm dead set on building my comp and the parts are gonna be the same ones in alienware's comp....Their comps are pretty cheap if you buy the parts seperatly and build it yourself....($5000=$1200)
I'd like to see your specs....I own an Alienware Aurora-based unit and if I priced each individual piece of hardware seperately, I'd only save like $300. And you can't beat their technical support, either. Tech support is essential to the computer-illiterate such as myself. You might want to consider one of the new Dell XPS systems aswell. Or just call a local computer store and have them buy and build it for you. One of my local stores only charges $100 for professional installation. If you're not a hardcore 24/7 gamer, then you don't need a really high-range rig. And $1200? Are you serious? My video cards cost almost that, lol
i am getting a computer from extreme gear its gonna be sweet and its pretty cheap (free shipping for over 999)
these are my specs:
# *BASE_PRICE: [+769]
# CAS: HOT NEW! Xplorer Mid-Tower Case 420W W/ WINDOW & LCD Temperature Display [-5] (Black Case w/Blue Face)
# CD: NONE [-20]
# CD2: (Special Price) LG GWA-4161 16X DVD
Nice computer. But what were all the hashes about...
