have u ever built a computer?

Ah what the hell. Mine (which I should be getting any day now) has a Pentium 4 and an Nvidia Geforce 5900 Ultra graphics card, so I can't freakin wait to start playin Halo, Call of Duty, and City of Heroes!

what do you mean build? as in buy every part and assemble it yourself?..what's the big deal about that. You don't even get warranty for the whole thing if the guyz at the store don't do the assembling.

the point is to not buy the package deals they sell in stores.. if you dont pick all the parts its not gonna be that good thats the bottom line

indeed, and then with the one you bought in the store you can barely insert a decent update 🙄

thats another good point ✅

There are plenty of online stores that specialize in building good computers. The one I bought is from a little known computer company. And it was only about 50 bucks more then if I had bought every part seperately and built it myself.

^^which one BackFire?

1.its a learning experience
2.its cheaper
3.you get warranty on them separately(retail versions)
4.its exciting

it's sticking a board into another....you practically can't fail...because they only go in designated places on the mother board. what's so exciting?

and it's not cheaper. full made systems cost less, than if you sepparately pick the parts. (at least where i come from)

www.cyberpowerinc.com is the PC company I bought my pc from.

i thought it was really cool learning how to put a PC together. I think it's a great learning experience, and just about anyone could do it. All you have to do is take apart an exsisting PC first.

i know that....and it's something i was trying to point out.

you pick the parts, but the guyz at the store mount them and give you the central unit with the parts you picked. that's not a package deal..but you still don't build it yourself. and you get a warranty for the whole thing

actually dexx it is cheaper for the same quality if it wasnt the stores would lose a lot of money on every computer they sell and i work at a store that sells them and i built mine so i know

I'm plannin on building mine, caus the one i'm using now sucks! but then, although it's cheaper i still don't have the money to do it, so i'm buying components here and there...only the basics tho, so i don't have to upgrade it by the time i come to building it. But when i do, it's gonna be a kick ass system!

No but my younger brother Master Revan has.

i have and im proud of it (at least when it boots up correctly)

I started too... then found i didn't have enough money... so i have a half built one... 🙂

I built my computer and used g force 5 200 grafics card sound blaster sound card 2 hard drives 80G ram 512 x2 dvd writer and dsl...
anything else?

I tried to build one, i had it all setup and everything. I closed the case and plugged it into the power, i then turned it on and all that happened is the fan turned slightly...and nothing else. I was upset, then i purchased my current PC which is awesome 😄
