Papito Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 I tell you to buy a desktop, the laptop can not pimp, over time and gradually are being left behind, I personally prefer a Desktop, with time and money you can pimp.* *Powered by Google Translator ** LoL Quote
Administrators daredevil Posted March 5, 2010 Administrators Posted March 5, 2010 Gaming = Desktop. Quote
Saizou Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Also desktop, among other things, keyboard is better, and you can easily upgrade at any time. And I generally like desktops more than laptops. Quote
detoren Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 only a laptop if money is no problem and you wanne spend at least 2000 .but prefer 3000. Quote
vke Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 any recommendations for a good Laptop or barebone kits under 500 dollars? Read onion's blog, he recently built a pretty good comp for like $600 canadian bucks. I think in real money thats around 500 bucks. Quote
Desu Posted March 5, 2010 Author Posted March 5, 2010 hmm it looked pretty pimp it includes everything that is needed for a computer such as audio cards and stuff? Quote
AzuShika Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Desktop all the way. My mate bought a laptop (designed for gaming) and it's huge, heavy and was about $3k (although we live in Aus so prices for comp stuff suck here) I recently upgraded to an i7 and didn't even break the $2k mark. He also can never really use just the battery because it just sucks the juice out of it, which makes the fact that he has a battery kinda pointless. Quote
OnionKnight Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 I think in real money thats around 500 bucks. Damn you kids and real money. Just because my money looks like it came from monopoly D= Quote
Desu Posted March 5, 2010 Author Posted March 5, 2010 Damn you kids and real money. Just because my money looks like it came from monopoly D= help me out on a build up Quote
AzuShika Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 How much you wanna spend? Do you wanna overclock? Etc. Quote
NoGooD Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Suggestions for questions to answer: How much? What is the main purpose of the comp? Can you recycle any old parts? What country do you live in? (for online stores, prices, etc) What size of area are you looking to put the computer? What are the ambient temps where the computer will be located? (for OC'ing, or high end components) Is noise an issue? Someone else help me out with more ?s Quote
AzuShika Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 Gonna overclock? If so, what sorta cooling, water or air? Quote
