If you want shit to break just after the warranty is up, get the Dell. My internal wireless and wired NICs both don't work. lol
 
You buy a dell for $578.00... and want it to last? You had that thing for 2 years... and it is just now breaking. Thats not bad at all. Brian is talking about basically a top of the line setup, which I would think could last a long time. I have had this dell for 2 yrs as well, and I have had 0 issues with it.

The hardwire network card stopped working fully 10 months ago, it works, but if you move the laptop around it cuts in and out. At that time I'd had it for a little over a year.

I bought a 600 dollar laptop, I'd expect it to not give me problems like this for 2-3 years. I had to buy a 30 dollar USB network interface card because my internal wireless NIC doesn't work at all anymore.

My old 600 dollar desktop lasted for 4 years without a problem.

Dell = problems. Did I mention the cd player/burner doesn't work in my desktop anymore either?

Bravo Dell. Fuck Dell. Brian you buy a goddamn Dell and I'll drive to CT and punch you in the taint.
 
Ok I'll just have Steve do it.

you may not be an amd guy but this setup absolutely rocks for me and i think the price is pretty reasonable. the 4gb of ram was overkill since vista 32 bit only indexes 3.5 gb or something but it was a good price.

4GB can be had for under 100 now without rebates and the new 8800GT rapes the old 8800GTS for less cash and add hd-dvd/blu-ray hardware decoding.

As far as AMD goes, they don't have very much going for them until Nov. 12. Until then, we'll see.
 
Four gigs in a desktop? For what?

Best be running a 64 bit OS.
 
alright, i'm back :D


thoughts on this?


there's a bunch of mail in rebates too, close to $150

fuck me, forgot vista and office. :( i'm back well over budget again.

god damn software :(


my laptop is dying. need to do something soon.

*GRINDDDDDDDDDDDD* on my hard drive. lol
 
how about scaling down your monitor - why the hell do you need a 30" monitor for?
 
the 27 is only 200 bucks cheaper.... so it's kinda like "might as well. plus, it has half the resolution of the 30. 1920x1080 vs 2560x1600 is a huge difference.

and that's what i want-- more real estate on screen so i can have my 20 most used tools through out the day all within easy opening.
