Captain Fett Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 Hey, people! Just wondering: which computer company is your fave? Vote, c'mon, ya know you want to! Anyway, I chose DELL, because I want one so bad, I know lots of people who own DELLs (they can't say enough good stuff about them!), they look cool, and I think the "Steve" comercials are hillarious! Plus, I own a stinkin Compaq and the thing is soooo slow! I know people who have the same amount of stuff in theirs and theirs are not near as slow as mine! I hate it! I need a DELL!

Guest Boba Rhett Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 I would definately go with a Dell, that is, if I didn't prefer to get mine custom built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Kirby Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 compaq is awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Boba Rhett Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 Is that why they just sold out? And their also a b*tch to customize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 Everything besides Gateway and Dell is a waste of time, unless you get it custom. But i like Gateway better, i'm hoping to get a new custom one before or at Chrsitmas. Also, a company known as AlienWare makes some nice custom ones. They look awesome and run great, i know someone who has one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Boba Rhett Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 Gateways are overpriced and are not easily customized but beside that, the're ok. Ted Waitt still stops by the Gateway country here every once and awhile. He looks kinda weird too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, the one i have now was customied, it is done very easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord JayVizIon Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 the best bet is to build your own. my computer was customized. i already dealt with the hewlett packards and compaqs and all that stuff and i'm starting to realized that your best and cheaper bet is to build one.....

Guest Boba Rhett Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 On average, of the systems I compared between the two, Dell's were several hundred dollors less and came with a monitor in the package. Why do you think Gateways been losing so much money for the last several years? And I meant that Gateways are not easily customized at home. All sorts of problems pop up with them. If you want something custom on it, they want you to have to come to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest xwing guy Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 Out of those I would have to say dell, but my computers custom made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link Antilles Posted September 16, 2001 Share Posted September 16, 2001 100% for Gateway! Dell is my other choice. The other company's except IBM can just give up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sherack Nhar Posted September 16, 2001 Share Posted September 16, 2001 My favourite brand would be Sherack Nhar. I heard Falcon Northwest makes some nice one for gamers too, as do Alienware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard Falcon Northwest makes some nice one for gamers too, as do Alienware. Yeah, the way that alienware's towers look would make you want one. And thats before they put in a fast processor and an awesome graphics card. I want one, but i don't know if i can rely on it like i can a brand name. Thats the only thing holding me back from building my own. That, and i don't have a whole lot of time anymore. I'd really love to build the motherboard and all from scratch, not just put the pices you buy together, but that would really take a while. Oh well.....

Guest Kvan Posted September 16, 2001 Share Posted September 16, 2001 I choose other. I'd like to build mine from the ground up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted September 16, 2001 Share Posted September 16, 2001 ALIEN WARE This company ALWAYS gets PC Gamer's Editor's Choice Award. These people go for quality.(Unlike Dell and HP and Gateway:mad: ) They get the top of the line stuff and make it run better than the system specs allow. If you want the best quality computer then get it from these guys. They know their stuff. They can be reached at http://www.alienware.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Boba Rhett Posted September 16, 2001 Share Posted September 16, 2001 yeah but their also like 3000 bucks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted September 16, 2001 Share Posted September 16, 2001 What?!? I've looked at ones over there, and i made one that would be the best you could get expect for only a 1.8ghz. Its only $2011 a really good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted September 16, 2001 Share Posted September 16, 2001 Originally posted by Boba Rhett yeah but their also like 3000 bucks.... No. Only if you heavily customize. The Grey is $999 The Arura DDR is like $2,200 And of course...the Area 51 is only $2,700 None of those are 3000 bucks and all of them are VERY good machines...well worth the money. Tie Guy's un-informed comment 1.8ghz Um...TIE Guy...they have switched over to 2.0Ghz...just leting you know. Does anyone know about NVIDA's new line of comps??? I saw the ad and they don't seem so out of the ordinary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Boba Rhett Posted September 16, 2001 Share Posted September 16, 2001 I didn't say they were 3,000. I said they were like 3,000. Out of the latest pc gamer issue, the area 51 is $2,799.00. That's "like" 3,000. And if I was going to buy a computer from them, I'd only go for the area 51. If you heavily customized one, it could easily get up to and over 5,000.
