    I am finally getting a new computer, I decided not to just upgrade to Windows 7, I decided to get a really nice computer, it's a bit expensive, but I have about 6 other friends IRL that are helping me get this computer, which I will be getting next month. Im getting the HP Pavilion Elite HPE-180t series.

    I was thinking about doing that, which will save me a bunch of money, but I wouldn't be able to do it, I am terrible at putting computers together, but my brother is really good at it, so I guess I should let him put it together. I will have money left over for other things.

    Hold on, I will check, my brother is going to put it together for me so I don't have to buy one and so I can save a bunch of money.


    Edit: About $2,137.98 or Maybe less, it depends.

    Do you really need that? Unless your running a shitload of programs you will pretty much never need that much ram.

    Also, build it yourself, its way cheaper, and it's really quite easy to assemble all the parts, you just stick stuff in the slots.

    Throwing 2 grand away. Built it yourself!

    You can't stick parts in the corresponding slots to build a computer, but yet you claim to completely "remake" the 360 when it has RROD? O_o

    I already said I am building it myself, I said I am bad at it because I have never attempted to build one before, and im not saying it's hard to do either, I just said it wrong in my post above, and what do you mean I claim to completely "remake" the 360 when it has Red Ring Of Death? I never said anything like that.

    Yea, I got him and halo3 confused because of the two topics. His was about rep boosting though, not xbox fixing.

    Look at all your old posts, literally all of them have rep.

    Just one example ---> http://www.ibotmodz....__1
    Why would people rep your two replies?

    I don't know Pargy, but just because someone gave me 2 rep on my replies doesn't mean I rep boosted, but I don't want to get this topic closed so I don't want any more talk about this.

    Not always cheaper to build yourself, especially if your inexperienced. Many of these companys mass produce this shit and you can find some pretty good deals.

    I'd check out e-bay if i was you.

    Btw nice computer, i have something similar from HP
