Mayco Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 why a lot cheaper?^^If you build your PC yourself, it's a lot cheaper. You can buy parts from stores/internet for less, because the manufacturer of the product (Like Sapphire or Asus) don't have to pay people to build and test a system. And probarbly several more factors.For example, a Quote
Chikennugget1 Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Ah ok,by "home-build" I understood something else,yeah,building his own pc is of course cheaper,but I don't know how to choose the good components etc...and my parents don't want me to do that XD Quote

Although I snapped the wire a few months ago. My dad welded the wires together again, and it's still working fine up to this day Oh and a small update on my current system specs:2x Sapphire HD4850 Crossfire!I'm now aiming for a more Crossfire capable motherboard (because my current mobo limits the 2nd PCI-E lane to x4 instead of x16), and a Full-HD monitor.

Njittie Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 My rigNote the crappy laptop, the place under my desk where my PC once was, the Nintendo DS to make up with the lack of games on my laptop, the pile of CD's because I can't listen to music on my laptop, and my Logitech G9 because I hate laptop touchpads.

Mayco Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 I have my casing open so that its always cold air inside the computer... makes sense? Not really, this way you don't have any airflow, which makes it hotter. And it's easier for dust to get in. Quote

I think most of the people use a fan to keep their room cool, and not for blowing air through their computers XD Quote
Darkstar Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Chimera, why on earth would you use Internet Exploder? Use the epic-ness that is Firefox Quote
