[Sike]

the 1 i have now is really crap, i want to get a new 1

http://www.alienware.co.uk/product_pages/desktop_all_default.aspx

i was looking at the one on the right. but i dont know if its a good deal,

and i dont want to attempt to build a pc myself, because id prolly do something wrong,
if any1 knows a better or similar pc but better price please please tell me,




truoble is my mum will never let me get 1, she says the one i have now is fine, its not

crap graphics card, crap quality, very few things i cna do to upgrade it.

its a dell dimension 5000, and it sucks

Re: maybe time for a new pc

your going to want to custom build because it is so much cheaper

it isnt hard at all, it may look hard at first but take a look at this elaborate tutorial

maybe you can make money somehow, I made enough money for a new system by working at kmart over the summer

Re: maybe time for a new pc

well my mother has decided that she will get it for me as a xmas present, ive used to customize featuer tu ensure i get what i want (8800 GTX) 2G Ram 19" screen and so on.

i know what u are suggesting it is cheaper, but i am prepared to pay extra to make sure i get good quality. ive heard/seen such good things about alienware,

but it doesnt help that where i live there is not many saturday jobs i can do.

i noticed something is a
AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 4600+ 2.4GHz Processor with HyperTransport and Dual Core Technology
good??

That processor is a little dated, the newest AMD is the 6400+ and thats slower than the best intel processors

I would really reccomend a self build, its not really difficult and youll end up with a better result for a lower cost

i know u all want me to build it myself, but im not confident enough and i dont want to build 1 myself

if you had spare cheap parts lying around, they are good practice to put togeather a computer, if you can read a book, putting togeather a computer is easier than it seems

Only the rich and stupid buy Alienware.

Why waste your money on a name when you can spend half and get a better pc from a custom build!!

Look at this site only deals in the UK
