Who here loves thier PC?

"I hate this piece of ****... Pentium 233 3.4 gigs.. My dad STILL doesn\'t think we need a new one, asshole, it pisses me off that this comp blows balls and i a\\have to deal with it." - FackinKubuss

Oh, quit whining. ****, by the time your computer was a year shy of top of the line, I was just upgrading from a 386DX 8mhz to a 486DX 33mhz. You\'ve still got a hell of a lot better PC than I, and several people in this forum, has.. so I\'d count your blessing that you\'ve got what you have. I\'d kill you for your computer.

Speaking of running old computers, I\'ve got you all beat. While my P200 is the one I use the most, I\'ve got my 9 year old 486 and 12 year old 386DX up in my room running Linux. Once I learn all the in\'s and outs of it, I\'ll put Linux on my P200 and 486 and use my 386 as a local BBS (with at least 5 nodes if it can support it) and my 486 as a server.

I want a laptop! In fact I\'m trying to raise money for one right now... It has to be at around $900-1000 though, so I\'ll have to buy one second hand. Still, it would rock.

I\'ll be buying a laptop next year too.They are bringing my school into the 21st century.Everybody is going to have a laptop.They will either let us rent them of them or maybe get us some laptops with a discout or something.After I heard this I started saving for a TiPB G4.Probly won\'t afford that though and I don\'t think my school likes macs so I\'ll probly end up buying a Thinkpad or something.

Featured in aprils PC gamer.....Inspiron 8000// 7.28lbs..P3800..15-inch SXGA (1400x1050 resolution)..128ram..20GB HDD..GeForce2 GO GPU..Harman/Kardon stereo system(built in) and many other features. The only problem....Costs about 2,500 dollars. That is the only reason I cant touch a good laptop. Otherwise I would love to have this thing.

I enjoy playing PC games but as for loving my PC , I\'ll have to say that its been giving me a crap load of problems as of late. I personally put together my PC roughly 11/2 years ago. I bought each individual piece and plopped them in together. However that was quite some time ago and now I just want to rip up my computer and upgrade everything.

Heres what im running on :
PIII 500 mhz
128 PC100 SD-ram (my motherboard can support over 1 gig of ram)
Diamond TNT2 32mb Vid card
Sound Blaster Live
20gig hd
4 gig back up hd
TDK VeloCD 8X-4X-32X burner (actually this is my old one, I recently got ahold of a TDK veloCD 12X-10X-32X burner)
6X dvd rom
and everything is housed inside a massive full tower

Heres what Im planning on upgrading to in the summer
P4 1.5 ghz
128 mb RD-RAM
Geforce 3 (hopefully itll be out for PC and the price will be lower in the summer)
If i do upgrade my HD ill probably get a 60 gig or 40 gig
I wont need to upgrade my burner
Ill probably get a faster dvd rom
and this time ill be sure to get a smaller tower (my full tower is too massive)

I like my computer right now... a little more so now that we finally got DSL.  I have to build my own computer now though.
 
My Hewlett Packard Celeron 466 w/ 10gig HDD and 64mb of ram aint going to cut it anymore.  I dont even see the point in putting a GeForce in it.  I borrowed my friends to play some Quake 3 and Counter-Strike.  It would lock up and freeze temporarily... you cant have that while playing Quake.  

So it\'s time for me to get ahold of an AMD Thunderbird 1.2 ghz and completely start from scratch.  I can build my dream machine for a little over 1,200 w/ monitor and printer.  I wanted to buy an Alienware... but those are sooo pricey; what exactly are you paying for???  

I would upgrade.. but this computer has a lot of my parents stuff on it and I cant really use it the way I want to... So why should I spend that money?  Plus when you bulid your own, you know what quality parts are going into your machine.  Btw.. pricewatch.com is awsome.

In regarding to Silverskies question of why alienware is so pricey, this is why. Alienware pcs are made and built to ur speicifications. If you wanted a gaming PC then they will make sure that the comp they send you runs game smoothly and a very high fps and high res. THey actually test the games of your choice on the PC to make sure it runs fast. THen they tweak it to make it run as smooth and as fast as possible. Plus the stuff they got in the alienware pcs are some high quality products and not the generic crap that most systems have (Presarios, Hewlett packard systems) For example we recently got my sister a new comp. Shes in teh Marine Corps and just wanted the basic. We bought her a compaq presario. They had a AMD duron on it (durons are bascially like celerons but better) A built in generic soundc ard, generic vid card, etc etc.
