Rct3man777 Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Hi, peeps. Would anyone happen to know a good place to get custom computers for a reasonably good price but without one of those pimped out gamer cases and just a normal case? Thanks.
ebl Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I don't know where you are, but here in Camarillo CA we have All-City Computers. That's where I got mine in July 2007. Their computers have a local reputation of lasting for many years beyond what an "off-the-shelf" system does. Check 'em out here. I've been happy with my computer. Basically, it has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM, 160GB hard drive, a bunch of USB ports, a high end video card (for CAD applications), one CD/DVD read/write drive (all that in one drive!), and a mouse and keyboard. We didn't get a new monitor because our previous 17" CRT worked just fine, though we're looking at a 20-24" wide screen flat panel to replace it. My system cost about $1400. Hope I've helped. Eric
Rct3man777 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Posted March 13, 2009 ^Not gonna happen ^^That'd be intresting, wish I lived in california.
TheBannedKid Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Build your own? Honestly it's quite easy and maximizes the potential of the computer for your needs. But I would suggest that you have some knowledge of computers because if you cause a problem, you have to fix it. Or take it into Geek Squad. There was PC Club but they closed.
paintballer Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Yeah, Try looking into it yourself. Just don't break anything like I did
spaceace12 Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I bought mine off ebay when I was in college. Then every year something would go wrong and I would upgrade a little. I may one day get one again, or a mac mini.
Rct3man777 Posted March 14, 2009 Author Posted March 14, 2009 Oh people, I've also been wondering, is windows vista ultimate any good?
Kalepi_Konei Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 For customized computers you can get Dells customized to your liking. And I have Windows Vista, not sure about the "Ultimate" thing, I've got home edition, and it works fairly nice and I like it.
TheBannedKid Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Doesn't add anything useful. It has Aero Flip 3D so you can flip through your open windows. And DreamScene, which is the capability to apply a video as your desktop. I have it, but don't use those features.
ebl Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 When All City built my computer, they installed Windows XP Professional. Odd, I thought, since Vista had been out awhile even at that time. But I figured they weren't exactly fans of Vista, so they stuck with the tried and true. That's OK with me. Windows XP works just fine and I have no complaints. Eric
Volt Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Have one built for you! Try these sites: -cyberpowerpc.com -ibuypower.com They can be fully customized. They are overall computers, and good one's shouldn't cost more than $1000
