O.P. What PC Company
Hi, im getting a new pc soon and i need your advice on what pc make to go for.

As my dad is going to be parting with the cash, he has certain criteria:


[list=1]
[*]Must be a by a reputable make
[*]Must be Windows ("Im not learning any more interfaces", which is fair enough, since his work has taken on some dodgy java desktop thing)
[*]Must be quiet
[/list]

And I want a decent pc thats fast and is good value for money.

I dont want Alienware as id rather not pay over the odds for some "1337" looking case and a free T-Shirt.

Get a VooDoo ENVY Notebook or RAGE Desktop. VooDoo makes awesome PC's, they are reliable, fast, over-clocked :refuck: and have a good warranty, not to mention how awesome they look :banana:.

http://www.voodoopc.com

They have been reviewed by multiple sources and given high ratings

Note: You better have deep pockets, a VooDoo will run you AT LEAST $3000 Canadian :o

Id get Dell, ive had some others, and i must say Dell were the best of all of em. Its nver creashed (in 2 years) cuz of hardware problems or so (not what i can say about my other PC). I got another Dell like 4 months ago, theyre prety quiet, respectable price & brand, and its windows of cource. :D And if you dont need some exotic case...

Just my Opinion.

Blade: I like the laptop, the Desktop case *-) not really my style
$3000 CAN is how much US or Euros? Just wondering :D i dunno my way around Can $.

:dodgy: I'm buying a VooDoo next time - I've had my Dell 3 years now,a nd their service is great but I've had 2 hard drive hardware failures (lost everything on the drive :dodgy:) My video card has fried twice, and Ive had some other problems aswell :S

Also: Dell's BIOS does not allow for over-clocking

Note: The case is just an example, they have others (though I find that one cool....)
