I don’t have good luck with owning cats, so I currently don’t have a pet. 🙁Call me crazy, but I love tornado season.. All the storms and such. Don’t get me wrong I hate the damage that tornadoes do, but they are just awesome!
Very nice pics. 😮Kujacker wrote:Oh, I hate macs and would never in my life spend that much money on such a general piece 🙂 I’m not paying $2000 for a mac when I can get a pc for $600 with way BETTER specs than a mac. Nope. Hate them with a fiery passion. (My families first computer was a mac, and most of my college computers were macs. So I’ve had plenty of time on them).
Also, I have a hardcore mac friend. She has mac EVERYTHING. Well, she needed to buy a new computer (because of how many issues she had with her mac)… and swore never to buy a mac again. She bought a pc and said she’d never go back to mac again 😀
Oh, and mac computers break like nobodies business. Lots of unhappy friends with mac computers lol. Most of them have since gone to pcs.Rock on! I too hate MAC with a passion. 😡

I support Windows, because it breaks down.. And then I get paid to fix it. 😆
So in some way, Microsoft is paying me. No really, I haven’t messed with MAC enough, but I do like Bill Gates idea of lower prices that way more ppl can buy them and not only the “Elite”.Just 1 more note. 32bit operating systems can only utilize 3GB of ram, so it doesn’t matter if you have 4GB+ it’s only going to see 3GB.
64bit operating systems can utilize as much as you would ever need.Just FYI so you don’t waste your money buying more than 3GB of ram if you have a 32bit OS. 🙂
I have recenty found out how to fix laptop LCD’s. Most of the time it’s just the backlight that goes bad, you can still see the screen if you put a flashlight against the screen.
The total price is about $25 each CCFL light, and some screens have 2.Yes my Gateway was a desktop.
I have seen many Dell slim PC’s crash due to overheating.. Usually some capacitors get too hot on the motherboard and start to go bad and the system eventually crashes.
We have a couple HP Touches at my office, and I really like them. Not quite sure about reliability yet, but they are really cool and fun to work on, and very fast. But you can get a better desktop for your money.
Here is why I like Intel over AMD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06MYYB9bl70I too have heard some awesome reviews on the new i3 i5 and i7 processors if you are willing to spend the money. 😀
My HP laptop looks terrible because I’ve had it a long time… And have repaired things myself (I haven’t treated this thing nice at all and it works great! lol)
It’s funny because most computer geeks have old PC’s because we can repair them ourselves. 😈First off… Don’t get a Gateway! I’m a computer tech who works on computers for a living, and I LOVE HP machines… I have owned many brands and Gateway was one of the worst ones. However that was a while ago
I currently own a HP Dv6000z (Laptop) and I love it for messing around on. It runs Photoshop CS3 no problem, and for being a 4 year old computer it’s great!
Dell’s aren’t that bad either, but if I were to get a Desktop I would look on Buy.com or Newegg.com for a nice HP. Maybe an Intel Core 2 Duo or Quad Proc. with 3+ GB ram and 512MB-1GB Graphics card, and good sized Hard Drive.Refurbished computer aren’t bad either, and you can save a lot of coin. Might think about the extended factory warranty if it doesn’t come with a good one.
I would also try to avoid AMD processors (The processor slows down more than Intel when it gets hot) and go with Intel.. Sure you might spend a little extra $, but it’s totally worth it.
I don’t like the small form factor desktops either, because the components are closer together and that causes more heat, and in turn slows down the PC.I really don’t like Windows Vista *Cringes* because it’s not user friendly. Try to get Windows XP Pro or 7 Pro/Ultimate.
That’s my 2 cents. :yes:
Of course it’s user preference, and I think AMD processors are better than they use to be.
Something like this is a monster! You would have to order a seperate monitor tho.
