As many of you guys know, pre-build computers usually suck. The companies skimp out on somethings. Well, I brought my computer to quinn and we opened it up and there are a couple of reasons I feel not to buy pre-builds again and we almost chucked it out his window

 

- we tried to put his 5750 and wireless card into my pre-build and when we were putting it in quinn cut almost every 1 of his fingers

- the crappy thermal paste the put on there products. we switched it and we got an alright decrease

 

and now there is many more he is going to find as he is working on my computer (i feel sorry for youz quinn)

 

First off, companies do not build pre-builds to attempt to "skimp" anyone out of any equipment. The reasons the prices are so high are because of chance of failure parts and labor. The reason your pre-build sucks, is because it's meant for the general public. It's build cheap with shit parts so that people in bad economical situations can still afford a computer. You are never, ever, going to find a pre-build that is more powerful than my computer is currently. The fact that you are saying that is just nonsense, of course pre-builds suck.

 

Now, on to your reasons. The fact that Quinn was clumsy and nicked his fingers on the corners inside your machine has nothing to do with the fact that it's a prebuild, it's probably a small motherboard form factor causing there to be a lot of clutter and enclosed spaces inside your machine, making it easy to hit your hand as you are installing an expansion card. The thermal paste the company used (in this case Gateway) is a Gateway product, if not it is one they get cheap. The reason they do that is for a vertical monopoly, if they use their own products that they make, they save money. If they are saving money, they don't care how good the quality of the paste is, just the fact that it keeps your CPU from bursting into flames. Of course when you switched it you were going to get a decrease, imagine buying a car, with stock parts. When you take the stock parts out and replace them with after-market parts, your performance is going to increase.

 

Have fun reading that wall of text, but next time you attempt to bash a company for doing what is necessary for a company to survive, learn the facts.

 

 

PS, your welcome for fixing your grammar and spelling mistakes.

I agree to some degree, but you can still build a computer your self for less. And, you should probably post your specs before you make a claim like that.

Yes, it is a small form factor mobo, but it was not entirely my fault that I cut myself. They have an insert they put over the expansion slots on the inside, and it is razor sharp. You have to remove this insert before you can add/remove any cards. I grabbed it and pulled, and it cut me. I should sue them for OVER 9000! because I got cut.
