4D?

Anyways, back on topic, I never really liked dell, we use em at school and they seem cheaply thrown together. I've never heard of Mach and the Gateway I used to have was pretty good, just became outdated.

Ah... if you have the money, try and get a VooDoo
Gateway =

Dell are pretty cheap and not bad

Whats Mach?

I have a Dell Labtop, I found the customer support to be excellent and the quality of the product was also amazing. But the only thing I didn't like was that you had to pay a nice big delivery charge of $100 dollars instead of going into a store like futureshop and not having to pay for that!

yeah, it's Mac. Where are the options "other" and "do-it-your-self"? Don't like Dell, Mac is good, but not for games, gateway and voodoo: never heard of!

You get a lot of BSODs? Is your comp overclocked? Maybe it gets too hot.. or it's just windows

Dell!  but i heard VooDoo is really good *caugh*$$$$$$$*caugh*

There is a Mach that is better than any other PC. It's made by Liebermann. But... it's to expensive.

My personal opinion is no matter how good these computer companies are your better off building your own system to suit your own needs.  It's also cheaper if you get a friend or someone to build it for you.  The potential saving should allow you to out build anything offered by these computer companies

how about making your own pc? cheaper? cost me $350 less than the same spec pc instore when i make em'

try a book called "Scott Muellers Upgrading and Repairing PC's" which is geeky as im a geek and it works for me.. or just do what i did and get your A+ Certification

Well for 1 I do alot of streaming, 2 I play games alot! and 3 I post in thi here forums...And I have alot of graphics

Sorry for my bad English, but *what* do you stream? Games need a good gfx card, nice mouse, tobo, monitor, sound, all input and output devices should be . Posting in the forums is internet and office use, I think. You don't need a great proc and stuff for that

Well my 2 cents......or $4000....depending on what u buy

Buy a VooDoo gaming laptop if you have the $$
Build your own if you want a desktop.


Anda bout those HUGE monitors - you're better off buying like five 17" LCD's bcz the 5 screen one is $17,000 USD

Just my two bob... I reckon the voodoo pcs are probably better bang for buck wise but in my opinion they're a bit ricey in terms of look. The Gateways and Dells are a little to standard for me in I was in the market for a gateway/dell type computer i would probably build it myself. However, in terms of all out performance the Mach is definitely the way too go... albeit a bit on the expensive side, as well as a bit of overkill...3 monitors?!?!?!

I reckon that the Mac is a better platform for first time computer users or users who haven't used computers much because its interface is certainly a lot more colourful and interactive. Windows needs extra themes and plugins or whatnot to get the same default theming as mac.

However, the PC platform is far better for anybody who wants to do any advanced (read High CPU use) processes. I will give an example from a field I know 3D graphics. Most 3D graphics programs out there that I have encountered were programmed and optimised for PC, with mac versions almost non-existent. Furthermore, those with mac support were no where near as optimised as their PC counterparts. I think its the same for video editing software.

It all comes because a greater proportion of computer users use PCs with Windows, thus there is a higher demand in general for PC software. Hence using supply and demand it is obvious that there will be more PC software.

Yes, it is also clear that much more "junk software" exists for PC just look at all the virii out there most of it is for PC. However, thats the cost of the abundance of software. With any good reputable business comes the dodgy wannabes. Its just a fact of life.

As for games, I reckon there is a stigma attached to Macs amongst youth in that they are "uncool", so games tend also to be oriented towards pc with lesser mac ports.

My advice to you XxRebelSeanxX do the following: Write a brief list of uses your going to use the computer for, then choose a PC accordingly. Theres no need to pick a Voodoo PC if all your going to do is word processing. Conversely a bottom spec Dell will not suit high end gaming

Well, looks like peps don't vote much hurr....Tis only 10 votes with a mac at the top....I'll leave this thread open for another week to see if I can get anymore responses, otherwise im gonna have to get a mac ....

Oh is that a mac as in Macintosh... oopz... i thought that was as in Mach as in the high performance PC platform.... time to undo my vote then

lol. someone shud really edit that........

some ppl voted Dell?

rebelsean: edit your post, then edit the title/subject/...

I prefer white brand coz i wanna choose everything for my comp instaed of pre-made configurations

May I ask what White Brand means??

NO brand like gateway, u buy your computer piece by piece.
I dont know if that term exists in USA but it does here

But u dont need to know  can go to a shop u choose the pieces u want then u ask the guy to build the computer of ocourse i think u will have to pay a little more money but i think it worths coz brand computers are too hard to personalize like the way u want..

Wow Dell,Mac, and Voodoo are the same with 4 votes  each  ...Keep the votes comin..I now have about $950 (American) Dollars to spend

Build it yourself.

Yeah its the best way

Well, I don't have time lol...I get busy online and shit to do... Honesly I wanna buy a premade one...TOP BRAND/TOP OF DA LINE...

Top brand/ Top of the line on a US$950 budget........... that's like impossible even if you build it yourself

Well, for $950 you can buy a nice comp. Sure, no comp with 2048 MB RAM, but he won't need that anyway

You don't have to build it yourself, just let someone else build it for you. Just ask at the local compstore.

Lol I want a comp with : Dual P4 Processors,2 gel filled ratiators, 120 gig Hd, 400-500 MB DDR ram, and a flat pannel screen lol.. That would be the best comp ever (to me)...

Why gel radiators... go all out liquid nitrogen cooling

Really, RebelSean, there's a lot of single-proc comps, which have 1024 MB of RAM. And 120 GB HDD isn't really "extreme"/"god-like".

Why one flat-screen? I want 2

a best computer is when u build it on your own or get an alienware

I dont really mind what you get, most PC are pretty good deals now anyway.. But I would go for Alienware http://www.alienware.co.uk
I must pled with you to not buy a mac. You can probaly tell why from whats under my avatar. I had one for quite a while but would never get another, they're just plain bad.
What Blade said was correct, its hard to use or understand and the file navigation is unbeliveable. It really eye scratchingly terrible.
If you need evidence just take Calebj14 as an example. He, like all other mac users, tries too hard in promoting the products of apple. It makes him sound desperate for you to buy a mac which I think is a big sign of denial of the truth. You dont see Windows© users going to far to promote the product because they know its good.
In conclusion
Microsoft©, Windows©,Messenger and Plus!
apple, mac, ipod an OSX

Microsfot rules? OMG! Act normally! Pul-lease! MS is about the worst company I know. Their misuse of their monopoly is so !@#$*!(%&()%   ! And they are not innovative. They just rip idease, do some bad coding, and sell it as if it's the best OS ever. Microsoft's marketing rules, but it's OS certainly does not.

Do you have any affilition with MS? Do you work for MS? I know only one person who likes MS, and that's Patchou. Well, I don't know if he likes MS, but he hates Linux

sorry for my typos, I'm typing this very quickly.


edit: Aha! Found it! You promote MS Windows, ppl will use Windows, their computer gets infected with a *lot* of viri, your brother is happy.

best sites I have found to "build your own" PC:

well for those in the US:

www.newegg.com

those in the UK:

http://www.pcindex.co.uk
http://uk.pricerunner.com

AND

to add my oar into the M$ debate.

As soon as Linux can come up with a COMPATIBLE with lots of software old & new for the DESKTOP PC I will consider using it for more than the occasional tinker.  I use Windows because it will run exactly what I want without loading some problematic "emulator" which increases the load on the CPU in the first case.

M$ may not be the best company in the world but at least they know where people put their money.

Disclaimer: I do use Linux & I am not anti-linux perse, but until they learn that the big world outdoors is a vicious place I think they are in la-la land.

ok then, well Patchou and me have quite a lot in common i also hate linux. I wont go into why now because this isnt really the place but I would like to speak to Patchou, we would probaly have a lot to talk about.
I believe that Microsoft© Windows©XP is a superior OS and that everyone should use it.
I wouldn't like to comment about any possible affiliations with Microsoft© or its Windows© products.

What do you mean "Windows© compatibility is getting better"
Microsoft© Windows©XP is far superior to any other OS as it is. I agree it will improve but but you make it sound as though the OS has poor compatibility. This is obvious not true. Please explain yourself further.
Longhorn is an early development product that should not be distributed to the general public. This was made extremely clear when it was given out to a chosen few developers. Download or purchase of this beta software is illegal. It is not safe for any other users than those who were given express permission to use it for development purposes. Other users could endanger the safety and stability of their systems.
Again, I wouldn't like to comment about any possible affiliations with Microsoft© or its Windows© products.

I will not discuss this in this thread, as this thread has an other topic title. Please, PM me or start a new topic.

Microsoft© feels that it is better for customers to receive high quality changes with more content and stability. This cannot be achieved by releasing many relativley small updates in a short period. Microsoft© wishes to give the biggest possible improvement with the lowest cost to the consumer, is believed that this is the best way to achieve this.

My uncle from America has visited last weekend, and he's got this amazing Mac laptop... Oh man, I would love to have one soooo badly! And MacOS 10.3 is amazing And he's very satisfied with his laptop, and tells everyone who says or asks something about his laptop that Mac is the best. I don't think you'll regret buying a Mac.

i got a gateway monitor and they have great quality

Plusfan, it was recently & INDEPENDANTLY found that the Mac OS has more critical flaws that M$ (Percentage wise).  Of all flaws a higher percentage of the total were critical in the Mac than in Linux or Windows.  I'm looking for the report now & will post it when I find it.

I'd definatly say Gateway.  They replaced everything inside of my computer except the HD (which was fine) after a CD exploded and damaged all of it.

Plus they have GREAT customer service and support!

Well if you look at the link you posted to the Dell.  It doesn't tell you configurations but promises brand new technologies like PCIe Radeon Graphics Cards (Talking expensive) but by not showing details like configurations OR prices it is reasonable to assume it will be overpriced, making Voodoo seem cheap

But it does look like a nice comp, and I think there is somehow I can get the specs and post them here. I will try and do that. But I still don't think it will be that expensive just by looking at the stuff it had posted with it.

Neways I will check out some used voodoo comps on ebay if they have some.
