Darth Eggplant Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 i said Dell just because I know the name. I also know gateway. I would say any company except IBM. Now if you asked about mother boards and processors I would have to say AMD processors all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLord60 Posted December 14, 2003 Author Share Posted December 14, 2003 You know I could have added more options like IBM, Emachine, Hewlett Packard (well same as Compaq) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wassup Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Originally posted by DarkLord60 I hate compaqs most awful just awful. I using one right now. I'd say I hate Gateway the most, it seems like they copy their ideas from others, they just don't have anything special to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapNColostomy Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Compaq is not the same as HP. Well, it is now since Hewlett Packard bought them out. I have one of the last ones made that was an actual Compaq, instead of a Hewlett Packard in a Compaq casing. My Compaq has been very good to me. It was reasonably priced, I've never had to reformat it, never seen a blue screen of death, its ran every game I've purchased for it, never had any trouble with it whatsoever. The Gaytway I bought prior to the Compaq is another story altogether though. Expensive, low end, constantly ****ered up...But then the argument could be made that a computer, like anything (a car for example) is only as good as what you put into it, and how well you take care of it.

IG-64 Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Dell, because of their terrible commercials they play every freakin second [really annoying voices]"And you don't have to sell what's on your shelf!" "And sit home, cryin' to you momma!"[/really annoying voices] *shivers* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datheus Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 In all honesty... all package computers suck... It's cheaper to just buy the parts yourself. Not only that, but you also get better hardware. When you're shopping for computers from a resaler like Dell, HP, etc, all you're really shopping for is the tech support. And according to them, Dell supposedly has the best customer support... I guess I'd go with a Dell if I had to buy a package computer. Either that or a Compaq. Probably Compaq.

Acrylic Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Originally posted by DarkLord60 Gateways rock its just the are to damned expensive for what they are worth. Yes. Me and my dad found that out the hard way....because, we got a Gateway with 3.06 Ghz processor 512 mb ram Radeon 9700 pro (kinda obselete now ) 18" LCD flat panel 200 GB HDD EDIT: Forgot to Add, that it cost alot more money than it should have. Another EDIT: Dells Suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically thery are cause they were bought out. I should have built one but I didn't want to. I got a ****ty dell but its running good no problems yet except I can move motherboard into new case without re-wiring front control button circuitboard.

Acrylic Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 I see no one voted for Gateway yet? Maybe because they r0x0rz! (For brand name comps, that is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZBomber Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Compaqs and Dells rule you all! I have both of those, and a custom computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLord60 Posted December 15, 2003 Author Share Posted December 15, 2003 Dells are alright they have nice neat wiring and good hardware except on mine I got stuck with PC800 RDRAM. RDRAM is old news already and is to expensive even for them to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you said you already knew that, which makes your last two posts directed at me make no sense at all. But if you want to be an asshole, and repeat everything I type wording it slightly different, go for it. BTW, Originally posted by DarkLord60 So please read before you nag. Thank you.

Surfnshannon Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Friend worked for Gateway tech support. He said they are all CRAP, nothing but CRAP. Awful, cheap, and highly likely to die. So I vote for Gateway. Also, I once had one of those ACER ASPIRES. Utter Crap! I have a hewlett Packard. I've never had had a problem with them. Now, next computer I get, I will build. After I found out how much cheaper it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy867 Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Gateway is definitely on my hate list for Computer companies. They seem to never know what the hell was wrong with my PII 300Mhz machine. They were always bad about VERY LONG waits for a tech, who like I said, would know nothing. And that the equipment they use is 3rd rate. Whereas I now build my own PC which top-rate material that I know wont crap out after 2 weeks, unlike the Gen2 DVD-ROM drives that Gateway used.

Joetheeskimo Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Yay, another place to complain about my computer! without a single doubt, I will say Compaq. One reason is because their pre-made towers are not upgradeable! If they f***kin' were, THEN I COULD UPGRADE MY COMP AND ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO PLAY REAL GAMES!!! AND.... ah, I won't go into all their problems. Bottom line is... COMPAQ SUCKS!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troopr-Undr-Fir Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Hewlette Packard (Pavilion 2000 addtion right now)...Well Thats all I've had all my life. But not just because of that, also they are a leader not a follower. I also love that copy+scanner+printer(which i have) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MennoniteHobbit Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 I ABSOLUTELY HATE DELLS I hate Dell's "THE INTERNS":rolleyes: commercials. Dells are so stupid and corny. Now, Gateways, E-machines, VOODOO laptops, HP's, Sony's and Compaq's are the BEST. VOODOO's are the best laptops there are. Just search the VOODOO website for more under http://www.google.com for it.
