Laptops have become far more powerful (also quite heavier lmao) But they still won't compare to a good tower setup.

Though I suppose to each there own.



Idgaf about weight tbh but a laptop is what I would have to take to lectures, etc, etc

Re: PC building help

You do realise that anything you buy now will be worth less in the future.. right? :-D (So yes; money you spend now, buh-bye 99% of that money later.)

Unless you buy something that actually becomes worth more, like .. uranium.

What I basically need to know is the actual components I will need. E.g. desktop shell, fan, etc, etc
What I want: 6 to 8gb of memory
1TB HDD
1 to 2g ATI gfx card
win7
i7 processor.

Any help/advice?




you can save a heap by NOT buying a case or building your own

the nice er thing about this is you can pick up an industrial fan for 50-60 bucks at a yard sale (maby even 30) out it facing your machine (for the love of god put some sort of windbreaker infront of the cards and ram (ot have it pointed at there narrow sides)
thi will keep your machine cooler than 200 of them little fans with a fraction of the noise

also tb hds... you can get a much FASTER hd if you use 500 gb and just use externals for your adult film colection :P

used parts will also save you alot of money

people are stupid i cant tell you how many perfectly fine laptops ive baught for under $60 that ONLY had broken screens or even lesser problems

I find that rather insulting and narrow minded.
It is. I missed the 'only' part in Andy's post. While true that it is a good way to launder money, it is definitely not something only drug dealers do, in fact, it appears to happen quite a lot in regular communities.
I am not above admitting that was a gross and faulty generalisation; sorry for insulting you (and others). :oops:
