You guys are right, Dells suck because of their programming. Anyone having a Dell should reformat the drive and reload a fresh version of either Windows or Linspire and trash Dells crappy software. I also build my own and program it myself, so far, great speed and no problems.

I get my parts here
Tiger Direct
They have some good deals on barebones systems or get the parts and build to suit. Add software of your choice and your good to go. I am waiting for the release of the next windows OS called Vista to build my next one. Mmmmmmmmm......dual core AMD processor! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I'm with Don on this. For the past 13 years I've been building my own custom computers. If you look at the name brand prices and the crappy inconsistent components they use it's frightening. For about a grand I built my last one which is hogged out (at the time) with the best of everything. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
The proprietary BS the name brands put in their systems is enough to piss anyone off. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

I get my goods at www.newegg.com

Nah, next one. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] They didn't have that or the duel chips out at that time.

Re: Computer Problems
 

Hey guys what has been your experience with Asus boards? I have used MSI, Soyo and Abit but I'm an overclocker so only Abit has given me good results. MSI and Soyo both crapped out pretty early but the Abit just keeps on going. I have a socket 939 AMD64 3700+ chip (overclocked to approx 4150), 1G dual channel memory, 240G SATA drives, and an ATI All-In-Wonder X800XT video card for super graphics. How do you think Asus would compare when overclocking?
