Pfffft, Alienware?
What's wrong with your screwdriver hand?

I have to say
that being a Mac person, I find none as attractive.. but if I were to get a PC, it would be AlienWare. They are quite cool!

I'm a Mac person too
But I'm currently stuck with a Packard Bell.

(I was a Mac OS 9 person, and my box was too old to make the switch to X, so when I get a new computer x years from now, it will be a mac again)

I think, along with several other people
that their cases are fugly. Yes, they're eyecatchers, but maybe too much so.

haha I watched Concorde`s final flight

well, I say "watched", but what I mean is that I was standing outside the office in Reading having a smoke when it flew overhead

That buggering thing flew over my house and woke me up
I had flu!

*jealous*
I was in a plane next to a concord once and got the full vibrating goodness as it buggered off to New York. They were fabulous machines.

Frankly I prefer the look of my chunky metalic ATX case
to some tupaware look-a-like with an apple on it.

Both my PCs have pretty nice looking cases
which irritates me as I'd love to have them in cases at least ten years old. Pity the parts wouldn't fit.

my dad phoned me up and offered to buy me a new computer yesterday
i was rather surprised and excited by this
( lemony, Thu 10 Nov 2005, 19:46, archived)

yeah he called me just before that
it`s still for sale : Pentium 133, 96MB of RAM, and 2 hard disks - 1.6GB and 4.2GB

you`d better look after it

*is MINTED*

oh dear... i remeber drooling over a machine with almost those exact specs when i was younger
in fact i probably still have the issue of Computer Shopper that it graced the cover of
( lemony, Thu 10 Nov 2005, 19:50, archived)

aye thankfully I think I`ve hit the sweet point
got the current PC 2 years ago, a custom jobbie - 2.8GHz PIV, 1GB RAM, ~200GB hard disk, CD / DVD writer, and a decent* graphics card

thankfully I don`t play games, so don`t need to go crazy - but it`s stupid spec just to browse the web, do a bit of Java/PHP, and remote desktop into the office


*whatever that means these days
( Reckless_Rik, Thu 10 Nov 2005, 19:52, archived)

i'm still playing reasonably current games* on my 3 year old cheapy packard bell
2Ghz celeron, 768MB RAM, 60Gb HD and a £30 graphics card from 2 years ago, it's been an absolute trooper, but it's getting pretty creaky

*HL2, Age Of Empires 3 and stuff
( lemony, Thu 10 Nov 2005, 19:56, archived)

i dont agree
with people buying computers with...3GHZ and 2GB ram and 200GB hd etc. and all that crap bout the psu...for typing and browsing the internet. Surely they could donate them to needier people!

'lol'.

at home
I alternate between my P2 600 with 200and something ram, a nothing graphics card and a shit hot sound card, and my brand new work laptop (1.6g P4, gig of ram etc etc).

I'm not a gamer as such, and the home PC does just fine.

aye I might hide funkyspice under a pillow or something and get a mac mini
desk is too small - one PC + one monitor is all it`ll hold, and I need ASHTRAY ROOM!

Or get one of these thingies

Ever read the computer section in a free-ad newspaper?
I swear to god last year I saw someone expecting £400 for a 486.
(Guineapiggy Fuzzeh!, Thu 10 Nov 2005, 19:50, archived)

seriously?
fuck it, I`ll throw in a ZX81 for £500
( Reckless_Rik, Thu 10 Nov 2005, 19:51, archived)

Sold!

(Guineapiggy Fuzzeh!, Thu 10 Nov 2005, 19:52, archived)

people buy it too
I think the logic to a certain ludite type of mind that if it is in the free ads it has to be a bargain. There are pipe smoking men by the score out there standing proudly next to 133mhz beasts bought for £300 proud of the saving they made when they almost bought the latest dell budget model for £320.
