The new computer I am getting next month

[360]

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.

Build it yourself and save 500$

[Diggy]

Nice system, but how much?

Build it yourself and save 500$

 

 

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.

Please built it yourself, I have had unbelievable problems with HP before.

[Pargy]

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.

[yungbol]

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

[Diggy]

Yeah dude, build your own. You could possibly save like $800.

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.

I thought it was someone else, I was wondering why he was talking about me.

[yungbol]

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

I didn't rep boost either.

[Pargy]

I didn't rep boost either.

 

...yeah you did.

[360]

...yeah you did.

 

 

No I didn't...Proof please?

[Pargy]

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

 

Just one example ---> http://www.ibotmodz.net/forum/topic/15366-building-your-own-computer/page__p__99253__fromsearch__1entry99253

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.

[yungbol]

Your right, back on topic. Build one if you can, trust me it's easy.

[Curtis]

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

Remember 25 years ago, when 64KB of memory was concidered plenty, and you'd never need that much?

 

Give it 3 years, and we'll see 12GB of memory as we see 64KB of memory now.

Maybe if you smoke crack you would belive that, they make a huge profit on cheap parts.

I had a decent experience with dell, but I hear and see horror stories with OEMs all the time, including HP,Dell and ACER, though acer is the worst.
