Title: Who would you use and why?
Post by: Hoby on February 01, 2011, 11:19:31 AM

Decided since I have never built a computer to go with a pre-built system.  Who would you recommend and why?  Looking to spend up to 1k.

I can't help ya; I've never bought a pre-built desktop.  EVER. :)

My first PC was a 286-20, home built (after my life as an Apple/Sinclair fan)

I know a couple people who have used: http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/

They said it was good and they let you customize everything if you want and are helpful.. Other than that, don't know much about em.

Hey Twinkle McNugget, since it seems like you have an abundance of extra cash since you can afford the unaffordable, I have some Girl Scout cookies on sale from my girls for only $30/box.  Please let me know how many you want; I have pallets.  ;)

Like I said, PALLETS of them!  Thin Mints, Do-se-does, Tagalogs, etc.  I'm going crazy in the sea of Girl Scout cookies!
