Whoah... Nonononononono. Fuck IBuyPower. They suck, no one likes them. Just google and see how horrible their support is, and how shit they put their systems together. One PC someone bought had greasy handprints all over the case/parts, another 500 people who bought from them got faulty parts, broken parts, shit parts, wrong parts, bad parts, parts covered with bird shit, etc. Id rather buy a Dell over ibuypower anyday.Poseidon wrote:

Why does it have to be Dell?
Is it just so you don't have to make it? Because can't you just pick the parts you want from a computer shop and then pay like £30 (I have no idea what it will cost) or something for them to put it together?

how bout alienware? lol...it IS dell in a sense...dell bought alienware and they have some decent comps there...overpriced...but decent
Alienware.. £500 = fail
no way you can get a new Alienware system for £500
no way you can get a new Alienware system for £500
You cant buy a good alienware unless you have at least $3500 to spend.
Good computer and dell don't tend to go hand in hand

Dell is good imo.
My friend has one, and have had NO problems with it, Dell support = win. The pc's they make a excellent imo.
Just ordered my Dell yesterday:
Intel E6850 3.0 GHz
4GB RAM 667 MHz
512 MB 8800GT
640 GB HDD
If you don't think like building yourself, like me, go buy a Dell or ?

Whatever you paid for that PC, you could have paid 3/4 of it and gotten better stuff on almost any site.DanishHonor wrote:

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
I know but this includes everything, since I don't like building myself.Freezer7Pro wrote:

Well, I didn't mean iBuyPower specifically. There's a lot of companies who sell pre-built computers for absolutely amazing prices.Dragonclaw wrote:

There are other (better) pre-builds that aren't from Dell; DeathUnlimited, can't you post the link to that rig you found the other day?DeathUnlimited wrote:

It's just that prebuilt machines are often unbalanced (often the GPU sucks) and by building yourself you get better stuff for the price.

That is really one of the best pre-built deals I have ever seen. But the price goes to £820 VAT included, so...
