    If it's a system that you spent hours customizing and building and you've made your own case, then I'll cry for you. But if somebody got their Dell or HP or Gateway trashed, I laugh, because that's where it belongs. No offense to DS, of course.

    Botique builders are the worst, though. Stupid Voodoo PC wanted to charge me $10,000 for a PC I could quite literally build for half the price. They wanted to charge $5000 more for the fact that they put it together and warranty it. This is besides the fact that the whole purpose of a QX6800 is to be OVERCLOCKABLE, and if you overclock, it voids their warranty which is basically what you're paying almost the entire $5000 for. And you don't need a 1000w power supply for that kind of crap because it doesn't improve the performance at ALL over a 750 watt. What matters is the power efficiency, and all their stuff like the PSU and mobo were listed as their brand. The list goes on and on.

    Never has it been so easy or affordable to build a computer, and never has it been so important to do so. Manufacturers are horrid. Microsoft's Vista needs to die out, as do all those companies so hell-bent on dominating the market and draining the profit out of you. Computers have become only about business ever since somebody realized how much money can be made off the suckers who are willing to buy whatever they're told they need, just like every other industry. **** all those programs and companies that want to make money off of all that should be free.

        Hahahahaha. I would go shoot something if that happened to me, and by that I mean I don't know what I would do but I would be none too pleased with the outcome. Anyways, it would probably be easier, and more monies, but just get a whole new laptop. Atleast that is most likely what I would do in your situation money pending.

            Dang. I've always loved laptops, but this is a disaster!! Better be careful with you're new laptop, when you get it.





            You're going to die soon. You have seven more days to live.

              I agree; it's particularly bad when your own custom system gets destroyed (I built one last summer for $2000 when it would've cost $5000+ on the market, and thankfully only the video card has had to be replaced so far), though unless you're really going for hardcore or advanced things, building one isn't all that important. Manufacturers create perfectly capable systems for casual use (Internet browsing, MS Office, etc.), but in my experience, Dell hasn't even been able to handle that. I've never had problems with HP, Gateway, etc., with those kinds of tasks, though admittedly my experience with them is somewhat limited.

                I've had extensive experience with all kinds of manufactured computers. HP has given me nightmares, as has Gateway. They're all terrible.

                And no matter what the price range you can always build something better and cheaper.

                    Re: :ver sad:

                    HPs have always been a nightmare for me also. I have a Gateway now that i bought about a year and a half ago. It's a pretty good computer but when darkshark and I put it together and installed everything, there was an erroe the very first time we turned it on. Because of that I still have random problems but nothing serious.

                    I agree that building my own computer would be better because I mainly use my for gaming and such but it's just to expensive. I don't plan on buying a computer for a long time now because I effing hate windows vista. Everybody who I know that has it hates it and ends up borrowing my windows xp disc to replace the ****ty vista on their computer.

                    The reason why Shayne has such bad luck right now isn't karma from lying about being a girl, it's because he stole some keychains and a shot glass from a voodoo store in Louisiana. Thankfully he bought the stuff he gave me so I'm not cursed but he cursed the friends he gave the stuff too and himself. None of them carry the keychain or use the shot glass anymore for fear more bad **** will happen because so much has happened already and not just with Shayne.

                          Ouch that sucks, laptops aren't cheap, new or used. Hopefully you only have to replace the screen.

                          <offtopic>
                          And for the people who brought up Dell sucks, build your own, etc. lol. First, this is a notebook. Building your own notebook isn't cheap. Just the barebones can easily cost close to a notebook with similar performance from any of these manufactures. Second, cheap Dells are not a bad thing. My dimension 2400 bought at a wholesale lot has been running roughly 24/7 for ~2.5 years and running only during daytime for about 1 year before that. Works great.
