Nice and easy - buying new computer

If you have a motherboard tray. Otherwise it's not much different. You just plug in all the interconnects that are labelled and can only go one way.

Basically, no help unless you help yourself and build it.

If a friend came to you and said 'hey buddy, Imma get on some of that wicked sick crystal meth, can you get me in touch with a dealer?', would you say yes?

No I'd say let's cook.

strawberry floating PC Elitists are ruining everything about GRcade. Buy a prebuild, my analogy shows that everyone who says otherwise is a strawberry floating IDIOT BABY.

Give me a reply to this that doesnt include:

It's cheaper
It's a guarantee of quality
There's no middleman
There's no labour charge
It's cheaper to ship
It's not difficult to put together
It's fun to work through problems when putting it together

PC Gamer Elitism

strawberry floating thought not, idiots.

Mate, if I were you, I'd buy either a rockin Alienware Laptop or a sweet as hell iMac. Don't listen to the haters!

You've got to be kidding.

My honest answer is, I don't know who makes decent prebuilds these days, and I wouldn't recommend one anyway.

If someone asked me in real life, I'd build them one myself.

I used to recommended Mesh as they at least used decent motherboards but then people started complaining about them and they went bankrupt, so I changed my mind. In my experience Dell is the scorn of the Earth and AlienWare are massively overpriced.

You can't be serious about the iMac.

I kind of got fed up recommending PC brands, when truth is no-one has a strawberry floating clue what parts they use and I don't want to recommend a cheap PC with maximum profit margin and shitty parts to someone with the higher likelihood it will fail. I'd instead recommend getting someone else to build a PC for you like a local shop so they can service it and customise to your needs, or there are various online retailers that do custom builds that disclose the parts properly.

Gecko, Stugene was kidding.

OP please show some courage and opt for a self-build. If you still can't warm to the idea of building it yourself then, as Gecko said, look around for a local computer shop that will build it for you after we give you a list of parts.

Thats not true. We've provided the same spec list we always do. But we've got no good advice on prebuild companies because we almost never use one.

About the only good advice we can give is "don't go where Rik did".

Yeah, come to think of it I just don't have any recommendations for PC outlets as so many people on here have turned to self-building and so have my friends IRL. I haven't even seen or been to a computer shop in years.

I'd be interested to know if anyone has genuine recommendations so I can steal their advice. :shifty:

If you have to be lazy then find a friend who does have experience, buy the parts and then pay him (or her LOL) to do it.

That's how I learnt, by watching my mate build my brother's PC and helping him out. My mum paid him £40.

I learned like all the true masters.

My dad bought the box of bits, chucked it at me and told me to get on with it. I was no more than 13 years old.

I would recommend they get some blue.

I think I started by adding an internal hard drive to my Amiga and it snowballed from there.

why not buy a mac mini? they seem pretty cool and very portable too.

Do you understand irony?

It was a bit confusing cos it includes both legitimate points and self satire..

But whatever, I am actually a retard.

Okay, seeing as you guys just won't quit.

Where do I buy all the parts?

I got pretty much everything from ebuyer, but there's plenty of alternatives.

Scan and Ebuyer are the best, and cheapest, places for nearly everything PC related.
