legameboy Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 It's that time of the year again. What I need you all to help me with this time, is find, recommend, or brag about what you think is the best company to buy a pre-made computer from. Also, feel free to recommend certain components to me so that I may include them in my purchase. My budget is in the two-thousand to three-thousand range. Shoot.

Darth Groovy Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 *bounces up and down* Oh goody, another build-your-own pc thread!!! I plan to build my next pc. I am going to canibalize my current pc, and save SOME of the parts, but then build my own super sexeh groovy rig. I like threads like these because you guys give me ideas. So far I think I want a 120 GB Hard drive 512 Ram, whatever the latest Athlon Processor is, and this case: http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/cas-239.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mex Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Off topic: Has anyone seen that Pc case that was in Pcgamer the other day? It was around £100.00 or something and it looked like a Mac. It was really cool. If you get a desk, I recommend that one. It looked amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acrylic Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 I'll be getting a free Dell Dimension 2400 from freedesktoppc.com then I'll be able to upgrade it, into something a bit better. With more ram, and stuff. I'll prolly upgrade $500-$600 worth of stuff in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
