What's Your Rig Choice?
« on: March 21, 2013, 05:33:05 pm »
I wanna know, What computer do you play with? Do you prefer Dell? Alienware? Knock yourself out with your replies :) Try not to argue too much though ;)

 great PC, touch screen and all, but somehow Acer didn't think of a proper fan, so theres a iny hole in the back that I have rigged a house fan to and I just turn it on when Im in-game.

Custom built, or at least customised by myself.

At the moment I have an acer that I've completely gutted the insides of and replaced with some fairly beefy parts.
Crawling back to you,
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few? 'cause I always do.

Custom Built is the Best!, alot funner & alot cheaper + the experience of knowing all the components, you only need a

CPU (Central Processing Unit)
RAM (Random Access Memory)
Motherboard (All moderns ones have built in Sound & Lan (Internet) Networks) Unless your using your Modems WiFi you'll need a Mini USB Stick
Hard-Drive (You Can get 2TB for $95 on Ebay)
Optical-Drive (CD - Drive)
PSU (Power Supply Unit) - Corsair = Great.
GPU (Graphical Proccessing Unit) - Graphics Card:
& a Tower (PC Case)
+ W/E Windows you want.

Yes, getting one custom built is the way to go. Even if you don't feel inclined to build it yourself I'd still recommend it, getting someone you know that is more technologically apt to do it for you is probably still going to be cheaper than buying a pointless brand one. The branded PC market is pretty appalling, it's more or less built upon the exploitation of peoples lack of knowledge. In the absolute worst case scenario you should be able to contact a tech shop and get someone there to do it for you, but if you have any desire to game for an extended period of time I have to say that learning how to build and maintain your PC yourself is a must.

Custom builds. Besides that, I wouldn't buy Alienware unless I'm a rich boy as you mostly pay for the sticker on the case :p

Agreed xD My PC is better than alienware, around and above the price I paid - just like you said, you're paying for the sticker xD They do look awesome though
