[asian_smith]

I'm interested in finding out what brand of computer is the most popular. please vote in the poll above. Also, if you have a reason for choosing that particular brand, please state it in a reply

thanx

[azn1art]

Let's see... For Windows.. Dell right now due to prices... but they might be less popular due to the exploding batteries...
If your talking about OS X then Macbooks.

[asian_smith]

i use an apple because it is aesthetically pleasing as well as functionable and easy to use.

[azn1art]

Hmm this is gonna be hard... I own more than one computer... so... which do I vote for?

Vote for the one you use the most or the one you believe is the best one

[girl]

i would say Dell

[Hoomamooma]

I own a Dell Desktop. They are pretty cheap and I got this one for a good deal so I bought it.

[kadhal]

Fujitsu Siemens and I am using it for the past two years and honestly they have great service.

[Blast9thewarrior]

I've got a Dell, but if I had the money, I'd probably self-build one, or go with a lesser known company that's known for high qualityness.

[some_stupid_nut]

Dell, best bang for the buck.

[vousami]

I have an Inspiron 6000 and love it - the reason for buying it - credit- I needed a way to rebuild and was able to get credit through them - but have been happy with the computer, the customer service everything - I would and probably will buy from them again!

[Giorgi]

lol, My Own. ITS CALLED: GIORGI EXTREME EDITION :D

[jacubilloro]

Here in CostaRica we call our self-built computers "3 patitos" (3 duckys)
It's just a common brand for homemade. Oh, and they are also the best ones!

[Giorgi]

3 duckys? why?

[jacubilloro]

Dont' know... 3 patitos is just a popular saying... lie if you buy one of those weird chinese TVs, or radios, or whatever it also applies for the 3 patitos brand...

[Giorgi]

Oh I see, so its like something that dont have name? Noname brand?

[jacubilloro]

Yup kind of like that. So sticking with the subject of this thread I have a 3 patitos computer.
Here are the specs:
P3 900MHz O/C to 1.2GHz <-- Very hard to do!
1G RAM
60GB HDD
256 ATI Video card

That's a nice setup you have over there... Wish I wasn't a student and had more money to get something tlike this.

[Tim]

eMachines, haha. It was real cheap :P

[asian_smith]

lol, that waas my first computer. it sucked crap all nite long. are they even still around?

[jacubilloro]

Hey! I have an old P1 133MHz pc running win95 and I still use it from time to time. It only has a 1.3GB HDD so I have to unsintall MS Office if I want to play StarCraft. :D

[asian_smith]

o my fvcking god. a psp is faster than that 333mhz 32mb ram up to 4 gb memory stick duo. u could get that thing that u call a computer in the staes for -$5 ppl will pay you to get rid of their shitass computer. u cud buy a better one online for probably under $100

[jacubilloro]

I know... Just to make things clear this is not my main computer...
I only have it because it still works and I'm too lazy to throw it away. Besides it's fun to tell people you have such an old piece of hardware that still works.

[asian_smith]

i have worse. a pentium II 133mhz 16mb ram, windows 95 1gb hdd, ha, beat that

[asian_smith]

i also have a macintosh, yes the first macintosh. and my school has an apple II, u can't touch that

[jacubilloro]

Not even close... My aunt has a 386 she still uses because of a special software she has.... Wordperfect!!! jaja.

[Tiago]

I have a P4 @ 3Ghz with 512MB of RAM and the rest of the computer is not so good as the processor, the soundcard is an old-school Creative Sound Blaster PCI. :mad:

[jacubilloro]

Get a new one from ebay. I have no idea how they sell them at such cheap prices...

Besides getting a new soundboard I would also need some speakers, but since I got another computer with nice sound, it doesn't bother me much...

A very good budget sound card is Chaintech AV-710. Google it. ;)

[JickBahTech]

Self Built,
AMD X2 4200+ OC'd to 2.4GHz
2GB RAM
1TB over RAID 3
M-Audio Firewire 410 for sound
XFX 256MB 6600 (I edit audio so I dont need a lot of graphics torque ;-).

Rolling your own, is just so much more satisfying...

My main machine is a Dell but I also have a Shuttle, a couple of self builds and 2 older Dell servers kicking around. One of the servers literally gets a kicking every time it restarts (after power-cuts or holidays) as it has a dodgy disc and needs a couple of tender loving kicks to spin up (I have moved all the important files off it onto a NAS (I'm not that daft))

[keith]

I have used a couple of brands before, but now I am using DELL machines for my laptops and desktop workstation.

The other brands I have used are ASUS, Compaq, HP and Fujitsu.

[Mike]

Mostly Dell, but we've got two others, a HP and a Compaq.

[jacubilloro]

I like shuttles... they are... small... :)
Why don't you change your HDD to something you don't have to kick around to make it work?
