erosthanatos 7 Report post Posted February 1, 2010 BYOC (Build your own computer) Trust me, in the end you will find it so much more satisfying, cheaper, and if you ever have troubles, no calling HP for a 5 hour service call. Just print out a Warranty Slip from the part's manufacturer, and mail it on its way. You'll have a replacement in no time. IMO - AMDs are sh*t They are subpar when compared to Intels. Sure, Intel Chips cost more, but there is a reason, they are better! Besides, its harder to mod/upgrade a pre-built PC. You own your own server, so I believe that you are smart enough to build a desktop :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just print out a Warranty Slip from the part's manufacturer, and mail it on its way. You'll have a replacement in no time. 2) IMO - AMDs are sh*t They are subpar when compared to Intels.

Besides, its harder to mod/upgrade a pre-built PC. 3) You own your own server, so I believe that you are smart enough to build a desktop :) 1) 5 hour service call...when I can fix it myself. My PS3 broke and I ordered a new "mother board" and it works fine, even increased it's GB to 250. Of this was not cheap. So it matters not prebuilt or not. I have used and owned both and they worked fine; it's all on how you maintain them. 2) AMDs are not shit. Both my desktops I own (PC and MAC) both use a AMD well my laptops use intell. Again it's all about maintaining your stuff properly. 3) Why buy a server when I can build one from the ground up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it wasn't misuse, there was no reason for you to buy a new one 2) Like I said IMO. I wasn't trying to make you angry, I was expressing my opinion. And, one man's trash... 3) I think you misunderstood me. I was stating that you own your own server. I know this, I lurked in SephSpawn's forums. I was saying that I take you to be intelligent and computer savvy, and with this being the case: "you are smart enough to build a desktop :)" I was just trying to save you money, and allow you to pick ANY part you want, since it is easy to do so when building your own. If HP's prebuilt fits your specs, then go for, BUT by building one you have an infinite number of choices for every component. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No misunderstanding just adding it. 2) Not angry. 3) just stated if for informational perposes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
