Post by Darkwing 2009-08-31, 12:06

As I suppose most of you know, I'm having oodles of troubles with my current PC. Anyways, over these last few days, I've been tempted to build a custom PC, so I was wondering what people thought of this PC

http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=73%2C74,379&webid=782588&affixedcode=WW

to use for parts. It's fairly cheap and might work. Oh, to vew that page it might ask for a postal code, just pop in

"out of stock"

It doesn't look bad as an actual computer, tbh.

It is fun to build your own PC.

But, unless you're using used parts, it's going to be more expensive than just buying one from the store.

Oh, and the only thing I don't like about the one you're looking at is the fact that it doesn't give you a free upgrade to Windows 7 when it comes out.

My parents just bought a brand new laptop 2 weeks ago, (which BTW is AWESOME!) and over half of the computers at the store come with the free upgrade.

In my book, the free upgrade is a must.

Just wondering....

I don't think the European countries have that invention yet.

It's too bad too, since it's probably the best invention of the 21st century.

Yeah, the blu ray player is stupid.

Actually, PC makers are beginning to taper down their orders for them, since no one cares about them.

I myself am completely anti-bluray. ANYTHING that tries to replace the regular old DVD is my enemy!

I do not want to have to restart my collection of movies!
